        Section 1.  Right of redemption
        Where seated real estate has been heretofore or shall be
     hereafter returned to the county commissioners of the proper
     county for nonpayment of taxes thereon, and has been or shall be
     sold in satisfaction of said taxes, the owner or owners of such
     real estate shall have the right to redeem the same within the
     same time and in the same manner as if the real estate were
     unseated and assessed and sold as unseated: provided, that as to
     seated real estate heretofore sold such right of redemption
     shall not expire before the expiration of one year from the date
     of this act: and provided further, that no title by tax sale
     which shall have become absolute prior to the passage of this
     act shall be affected by its provisions.  1879, May 13, P.L. 55,
     Sec. 1.
        Section 2.  Owners may show that there was sufficient
     personal property
        This act shall not be so construed as to prevent the original
     owner or owners from showing that there was sufficient personal
     property on the real estate sold to pay all the taxes assessed
     thereon which might have been seized by the collector if he had
     used due diligence, and in such case the title of the original
     owner or owners shall not be doubted.  1879, May 13, P.L. 55,
     Sec. 2.
