1Opinion of the Court

The Court

gave judgment for the plaintiffs, holding that the creditor by the redemption takes the title, and stands in the place of the purchaser ¿ whose title as against the judgment debtor had become perfect previous to the time when the creditor obtained the right to redeem.
