Summary: The appeal here is from an order requiring appellant to surrender a tax certificate upon the payment of less than the face of the certificate. There is no question about the validity of the certificate. It appears from the record that the lands were sold for delinquent and unpaid taxes and that tax certificate issued to the State of Florida; that thereafter the certificates were *Page 297 sold and assigned by the Clerk of the Circuit Court under the provisions of Section 42 of Chapter 14572, Act

In view of the irregularity in the sale of the certificate, I think the court receiver should have been permitted to redeem by paying the purchaser the same amount the latter had paid the Clerk. This was the effect of the order of the Chancellor, and I think it should be affirmed.
