Be it enacted by the Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Minnesota: Section 94 of Chapter 71, page 363: Such exemptions shall not affect any laborers', mechanics', or other lien for labor performed or materials furnished in the erection, alteration or repairs of any building or addition thereto, on such land, nor extend to any mortgage thereof lawfully obtained, nor to any sale for nonpayment of taxes or assessments thereon, nor to any debts contracted or liabilities incurred for the purchase of said land.

Section No. 3, 113, 114, and 115 of Chapter 71, page 366, and 367, is amended so as to read as follows:

SEC. 113. Property sold, subject to redemption, as provided in the last section, or any part sold separately, may be redeemed in the manner provided in the next four sections, by the following persons or their successors in interest:

1st. The judgment debtor or his successor in interest in the whole or on any part of the property.

2d. A creditor having lien by judgment or mortgage of the property sold, or on some share or part thereof subsequent to that on which the property was sold. The persons mentioned in this and the preceding subdivisions other than the judgment debtor, are in this chapter termed redemptioners.

SEC. 114. The judgment debtor or redemptioner may redeem the property from the purchaser within one year after the day of sale, on paying him the amount of his purchase, with interest at ten per cent., and if he be also a creditor, having a lien prior to that of the redemptioner, the amount of such lien with interest.

SEC. 115. If the property be so redeemed by a redemptioner, either the judgment debtor or another redemptioner may, within thirty days after the last redemptioner again redeem it from the last redemption, on paying the sum paid on his redemption with interest, and unless his lien be prior to that of the preceding redemptioner the amount of such lien with interest, the property may be again and as often as the debtor, owner or any redemptioner is so disposed to redeem from any redemptioner within thirty days after his redemption, and notice thereof filed with the Sheriff. If no redemption is made in one year after the sale, the purchaser is entitled to a conveyance, or if so redeemed whenever thirty days have elapsed, and no redemption has been made and notified therein, the time for redemption has expired and the last redemptioner is entitled to a sheriff's deed. If the debtor or owner redeem at any time before the time for redemption expires, the sale is terminated, and he is restored to his estate.
