STATEMENT OF THE CASE.
A hearing was had in this appeal taken by José Teissoniere from a decision of the Registrar of Property of Ponce refusing to record a certificate issued by the collector of revenues of that city relative to the sale of a lot for the payment of delinquent taxes.
The collector of revenues having instituted compulsory proceedings against Elena Fortier, a delinquent taxpayer, a building lot situated on Salud street in the said city was attached, offered at public sale and awarded to José Teis-soniere, as the only bidder thereon; the certificate issued in favor of the said Teissoniere was filed with the registrar for admission to record, which was refused by him, on the ground that the said lot was not recorded in the name of the debtor nor in the name of any person, according to the decision entered on the back of the said certificate.
Notice of the decision of the registrar having been served on the interested party, the registrar transmitted the certificate of the collector to this Supreme Court for its action thereon, and thereafter Xavier Mariani entered his appearance in this court on behalf of the said José Teissoniere and ■opposed the decision of the registrar on such grounds as he deemed pertinent'to his rights.
