The defendant (hereinafter called the chargor), opposed the same. Before the hearing of the originating summons herein, the intervener, applied and was allowed to intervene in the proceedings on the ground that she was a purchaser of one of the 5 pieces of land in respect of which an order for sale by public auction was being sought by the chargee.
