Circuit itJudgeship.

The substitute bill offered by Judge w.
H. Mann in the Senate yesterday for the
one reported by the Finance Committee,
to amend and re-enact the so1called
.land-gra bbers' " act, differs materially
from the measure that was already be-
fore tl1<t body.
A. most important change the Mann
bill provides for is in the following
words:
..lf any Of tho persons named in the
said application do not reside in the coun-
ty or corporation in which the land IS
situated, but are known to reside in some
other county or corporation in the State
OF Virginia, the clerk shall send copies OF
said application to the proper officer Of
the county or corporation wherein they
reside. to be executed upon such person,
and in such case the fee Of the sheriff
or sergeant shall not be required in adj
vance
But TIE most important amendment has
reference to the redemption OF property
declared delinquent. On this subject the
bill provides as follows:
REDEMPTION OF PROPERTY.
':Any person having the right to. redeem
said land as hereinbefore mentioned. and
who desires to contest the right of the
treasurer to sell such real estate snail
give in writing to the treasurer or MS
purpose to make such contest. The notice
shall name the term Of the court and
the day of the term on which he Will
make the motion, and state the grounds
upon which he relies. The notice shall be
executed upon the treasurer Of the county
or corporation wherein such real estate
is situated at least ten days before the
return day thereof. The County Court
Of the county or the Corporation Court OF
the corporation wherein said real estate
is situated shall hear and determine All
questions that may arise on submission
Of said motion and adjudicate5 the same
according TO law, and an appeal shall lie
from the County or Corporation Court to
the Circuit Court and to the Court of Ap-
peals in the same manner as is now pro-
vided for appeals in civil cases.
