Bill of Eeview.
    Burley v. Flint,
    Sup. Ct. U. S.
    Oct. Term, 1881.
    This was an appeal from the circuit court of the United States for the northern district of Illinois. A bill of review had been filed in the circuit court seeking to reverse so much of the former decrees of the court in a foreclosure suit as denied the statutory right of redemption given by the laws of the state in regard to land sold under such decrees. A hearing was had on motion to dismiss the bill, which, by consent of counsel, was to be treated as a demurrer, and the court dis missed the bill, from which order this appeal is prosecuted. The decision was rendered on March 13, 1882, affirming the decree of the circuit court.
    Francis H. Kales, for appellant.
    E. B. McOagg, for appellee.
   Mr. Justice Miller

delivered the opinion of the court.

Where appellant does not" seek to reverse the order of sale to satisfy the amount due to the mortgagee, nor ask that the sale made under that order be set aside and a new sale ordered, nor make any offer to redeem by payment of the amount found due on the original mortgage, nor offer to pay the amount bid at the sale by the mortgagee or tender any sum in court as assurance that he will do so, but simply asks that so much of the decree as forecloses this statutory right to redeem may be reviewed and reversed, his bill of review was properly dismissed.
