If the term of service of the sheriff or other officer who has
made, or shall hereafter make sale of any lands and tenements, shall
expire, or if the sheriff or other officer shall be absent, or be
rendered unable by death or otherwise, to make a deed of conveyance
of the same, any succeeding sheriff or other officer, on receiving a
certificate from the court from which the execution issued for the
sale of said lands and tenements, signed by the clerk, by order of
said court, setting forth that sufficient proof has been made to the
court that said sale was fairly and legally made, and on tender of
the purchase money, or if the same or any part thereof be paid then
on proof of such payment and tender of the balance, if any, may
execute to the said purchaser or purchasers, or his or their legal
representatives, a deed of conveyance of said lands and tenements so
sold.  Such deed shall be as good and valid in law and have the same
effect as if the sheriff or other officer who made the sale had
executed the same.
