The land involved in this action was bid in by the state at a tax sale held December 22,1874. On November IS, 1876, the state assigned its right and interest to one Langelier, from whom, through intermediate conveyances, the defendant Hortense Hill claims title. The certificate of sale required by Laws 1874, e. 1, § 124, was not 'made out until the day of the assignment to Langelier, almost two years after.the day of the tax sale in 1874. The trial court found as a fact that the auditor making the sale could have, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, in addition to performing all other official duties, caused to be prepared, and could have executed, all certificates provided for in said section 124, within eight weeks from and after the day of sale, December 22, 1874, and that said period of eight weeks was all the time reasonably necessary within which to prepare and execute all said certificates. It is laid down in Stewart v. Minn. & St. Louis Ry. Co., 36 Minn. 355, (31 N. W. Rep. 351,)
Order affirmed.
