This is the original version (as it was originally enacted).
(1)Where a county council order the sale of a small holding without taking possession, they shall cause it to be put up for sale by auction, and out of the proceeds of sale retain a sum equal to the amount for which the terminable annuity (if any) charged on the holding may be redeemed, unless the holding is sold subject to the terminable annuity, together with any arrears of the annuity which may be then due and all costs, charges and expenses properly incurred by them in or about the sale of the holding, and pay over the balance (if any) to the owner.
(2)If the county council are unable to sell the holding for such sum as will allow the payment out of the proceeds of sale of such amounts as aforesaid, they may take possession of the holding in manner provided by the last foregoing section, but shall not be liable to pay any sum to the owner, and may recover from the owner summarily as a civil debt the amount of the deficiency.
(3)Any sale by a county council under this section may be made either subject to the charge in respect of terminable annuity or free, wholly or partly, from that charge, and in either case the provisions of this Act with respect to the purchase money shall, where the land is sold as a small holding, apply in like manner as if the sale were the first sale of the holding.
