STATEMENT OF THE CASE.
A hearing was had of this appeal taken by José Aparicio Cabrales from the decision of the registrar of property refusing to record a certificate issued by the deputy collector of revenues of Adjuntas relative to the public sale of a rural property, for the payment of taxes.
The deputy collector of revenues of Adjuntas instituted compulsory proceedings against José María Gonzalez as a delinquent tax debtor and levied an attachment on a certain rural property belonging to him, situated in barrio Juan González, municipal district of Adjuntas, ■which property was offered at public sale and awarded to José Aparicio Cabrales as the successful bidder thereon. The certificate issued in favor of the said Cabrales was presented for record to the registrar, who refused to record the same on the ground that the property in question did not appear recorded in favor of the debtor nor in favor of any other person, according to the decision entered at the bottom of said certificate.
Notice of said decision was served on the interested party, and the registrar transmitted the certificate issued by the deputy collector to this Supreme Court for its decision, reproducing the reports he had previously made in the cases of Martin Vargas, Eafael Bermejo and Mariana Colón.
