W. R. Mills, defendant in the executory proceedings in the case of A. M. Agelasto vs. W. R. Mills, enjoined the sheriff and said Agelasto from executing a sheriff’s deed for the property sold in said suit on the sixth of February, 1875, and from putting the latter in possession as adjudicatee, -on the ground that the bid did not exceed the mortgage and privileges resting on said property and having preference over the mortgage of the seizing creditor. The defendant, Agelasto, excepted to the petition, moved to dissolve the injunction, and answered on the grounds substantially that plaintiff shows no cause of action, the injunction bond and surety are not in accordance with law, and the facts alleged are untrue.

The evidence in the record shows that the mortgage and privileges, including the interest and penalties accrued on the taxes, both city and State, exceeded the bid of the purchaser by less than two hundred dollars, the bid being two thousand dollars and the said incumbrances less than twenty-two hundred dollars; but it is shown that the purchaser, a few days after the sale, paid the city taxes, amounting to six hundred and seventy-five dollars, with the sum of four hundred dollars expended in cash and city scrip or warrants receivable for taxes. The ranking *562mortgage ($615) and the State taxes, penalties, etc., ($827 32) amount to $1442 32; and the question presented by plaintiffs counsel is, can the purchaser avail himself of the sum paid by him to the city, or must the case be decided upon the facts as they are shown to have existed on the-day of sale, showing a deficit of $117 32.

It should be remarked that the certificate of mortgages did not specify the interest and penalties on the unpaid taxes, and that the amounts in said certificate do not appear to correspond exactly with the amounts in the statements embraced in the settlement; yet the law imposed both interest and penalties. Wo think, under the circumstances of this ease, .the plaintiff has no legal cause to defeat the sale. He is not injured, as the claims bearing the privilege are extinguished. And it is not clear that the incumbrances which had preference over the claim of the purchaser were made by the certificate of mortgages to appear greater than the bid. As presented by both parties these incumbrances, as contained in the certificate, were less than the bid, and it is only by adding the interest and penalties that they are made to exceed it. Under such a state of facts, we think the purchaser is entitled to the benefit of the payments made by him, and that the sale is a good one as to the debtor in the execution.

Judgment affirmed.

Behearing refused.
