JV. P. Tallmadge, in behalf of Mr. Kelley,
submitted the question to the Court, to whom the deed should he given ? And the only question was, whether Kelley was bound to pay Strong's judgment, or was entitled to a deed of conveyance, on paying what he had offered.

Kelley is entitled to his deed, upon paying the purchase money only, with the interest required by the act. He need not pay Strong's judgment.
Note. No rule was entered, but the Chief Justice returned the case submitted, to Mr. Oakley, who being present, and hearing the opinion of the Court, engaged to communicate it to the Sheriff.
