VALIDATING SHERIFF'S SALES
                  Act of May 2, 1949, P.L. 844, No. 222               Cl. 53
                                  AN ACT

     Validating certain sheriffs' sales of real estate for non-
        payment of taxes and other municipal liens and validating the
        title to such real estate in the hands of purchasers, their
        heirs, grantees and assigns.

        The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
     hereby enacts as follows:

        Section 1.  All sheriffs' sales of real estate for the non-
     payment of taxes, sewer liens, pavement liens and other
     municipal liens, heretofore held under the provisions of any act
     of Assembly, where the liens for such taxes and other municipal
     claims were filed and where the taxes assessed or other
     municipal claims were actually due and unpaid, are hereby made
     valid, notwithstanding the fact that prior to such sales
     executions upon any judgments recovered upon any such taxes and
     other municipal claims have been by writ of fieri facias instead
     of by writ of levari facias, and the titles to all such real
     estate in the hands of the purchasers thereof, their heirs,
     grantees and assigns are hereby declared to be good and valid to
     all intents and purposes.
        The provisions of this act shall not apply in any instance
     where the validity of any such sale or the title to the premises
     purchased thereat has been made the subject of litigation in any
     court of the Commonwealth prior to the approval of this act.
        Section 2.  The provisions of this act shall become effective
     immediately upon its final enactment.
