And said Court having seen and carefully examined said late Sheriff's report of sale of said real estate, and being satisfied that said sale had been fairly, regularly and legally made, did at said March Term 1846, approve and confirm said sale, and ordered that the present Sheriff of this County execute to said purchaser and his heirs, a deed of conveyance of and for said real estate which was bounded and described as follows, to wit:
