181, was one in suit, coyering land in a single county, and it is therefore not in point in this case. In the case of Orcutt v. Hanson; (Iowa,)' 32 N. W. Rep. 482, the suit was against the executrix of the mortgagor's will; the, mortgaged premises were situated in the county in which the defendant lived, and in which the estate WitS being settled in the probate court; the debt secured by the mortgage was payable in a different county, and the suit was brought in the latter county to collect the debt and foreclose the mortgage. The only question decided in that case was one which does not arise in this. Lomax v. Smyth, 50 Iowa, 232, is another Iowa case, later than either of the two mentioned above, and is in point. The decision is to the eflect that, under a section of the Iowa Code providing t43;t suits to foreclose mortgages must he brought in the county wherein the mortgaged property, or some part thereof, is situated, a decree of foreclosure and order of sale in a suit upon several deeds, each for a separate tract. given as for a debt, where It defeasance of all the lands by It single instrument had been taken by the mortgagor, brought ina Qoumyembracing only lands affected by one of the deeds, was valid and binding as to lands in another county. The decision in Wood v. MlUtick, 2 Wash. T. 64,8 Pac. Rep. 612, does not bearon the question at issue to any greater extent than this: It holds that foreclosure suits must be brought in the county or district in which the land, or some part thereof, lies. It does not intimate that more than one suit is necessary where several tracts in different counties are covered by a single mortgage. I hold that in said foreclosure. suit the jurisdiction of the district court at Olympia was not partial. and sufficient merely to Itfford part of the relief to which the mortgage entitled the plaintiff, but it was complete for all purposes. The mortgage given by the cOluplainantwas foreclosed, and the lands in controversy were sold, by proceedings and under process especially provided by the statutes for such a case, and the sale is not void because not made subject r.edem ption , as provided in the chapter relating to sales of real estate under executions, nor by reason of non-conformity to theprovisiolls of that in other particulars on the part of the sheriff, in executing the process and making ,his return. The particular provisions of that chapter invoked are wholly inapplicable to the case. Hays v. Miller, 1 Wash. T l 145; PIlrker v.. Dae-res, 2 Wash. T. 445, 7 Pac. Rep. 893. Bythe statute, the cOJ1wlainanthada right to redeeJD, the property by paying the mortgage debt, with interest and costs, at any time prior to the sale, (Laws 1873, p. 149, § 563';) and by the order of the court the time was extended for a period of six months from the date of confirmation of the :;ale. He did not avail himself of the right of redemption given to him by law, or the grace extemled to him by the court, and, by the sale or the property and lapse of time, all his rights to and, interest in the property were extingqished,and the right of the purchaser to have a valid deed from the sheriff became absolute. Whether such sdeed has or has not been executed and delivered is It question which i!,! not material in this case, because i,t does notconcern the com..-:plainant.
