Opinion

Danforth, J.

The only question involved in this case is whether an officer’s deed of an equity of redemption, not recorded within three months, is void under R. S., 1857, c. 76, § 33. In Houghton v. Bartholomew, 10 Met. 138, it was held that a similar deed-was good as against a subsequent purchaser with notice. Much: more would it seem to be good against the debtor, who, as the case-finds, had the legal notice of the sale.

The Statute of Massachusetts under which that decision was-made is the same as our own. The opinion in that case is elaborate, meeting every objection raised in the agreement, and is, in our opinion sound. Fxeeptions sustained-

Appleton, C. J.; Cutting, Walton, and Dickerson* JJ.5, concurred.
