People v. Grant
People v. Grant
Opinion of the Court
1. Lowe was not the holder of the Sheriff’s deed in the sense of the statute. The “ holder” of such a deed is the person who is the grantee therein named, and not a subsequent vendee of such grantee. It results that the provision of the statute permitting a writ of assistance to be issued upon the application of the holder of the Sheriff’s deed, did not authorize such a writ to be issued in favor of Lowe.
2. The purchaser from the grantee of the Sheriff' having, by intrusion into the case, and without notice to the tenant or his landlord, obtained an order for the writ, the latter had no remedy except a motion to set it aside, or had he been evicted under the writ, a motion to be restored to the pos
Order reversed and cause remanded, with directions to set aside the order of May thirteenth.

- Writ oí Assistance on Tax Sale.—A writ of assistance will not issue in favor of a purchaser from one who received a Sheriff’s deed for land sold under a judgment for delinquent taxes. Such writ can only issue in favor of one who was the grantee of the Sheriff. Appeal from Order Granting Writ of Assistance.—One who is not a party to the record cannot appeal from an order granting a writ of assistance. Such person must move to vacate the order granting the writ, and in that way place himself oh the record, and then, if the motion is denied, appeal from the order denying his motion; or if the writ is executed, move to be restored to the possession, and if the motion is denied, take his appeal.
