bill will be promoted by the sale, lease or other conveyance of the property, and the court
shall be of the opinion that the interests of no other person or persons in the property will be
materially injured or prejudiced by such sale, lease, or other conveyance, the court may,
with the consent of all persons in being having any vested estate or vested ienterest in such
property, except in certain cases provided for in section nine of this article, in which case
such consent shall not be necessary, decree the sale, lease, or mining lrease of such property,
or of any interest in such property, in such manner and on such terms, and in such parcels,
as may be deemed beneficial to all persons interested: Provided, That where any party
having a vested estate or vested interest is an infant, or insane, or convict, the guardian of
such infant, whether testamentary or appointed by a county tcourt or the clerk thereof, or the
committee of such insane person or convict, may consent for such infant or insane person or
convict, as the case may be; and any married woman having an interest in the property may
consent without the consent of her husband: Provided further, That the consent of no person
having a merely contingent or executory estate or interest shall be necessary in order to
enable the court to decree such sale, even though such person having such contingent or
executory estate or interest is a necessary party to such suit: And provided further, That the
consent of no holder of any lien or encumbrance created since the twenty-second day of
May, nineteen hundred and eleven, shall be necessary to any sale, lease, mining lease, or
other conveyance made under the provisions of this article: And provided further, That if any
person in being having any veseted interest in such property shall not consent to such sale,
lease, mining lease or other conveyance, the court may nevertheless decree such sale, lease,
mining lease or other coLnveyance, to be made subject to the interest of such person in being
