§ 2a:56-13.
When a commissioner or commissioners shall make sale of real estate pursuant to this

commissioner or commissioners may produce the receipts and discharges therefor to
the surrogate of the county wherein the real estate, or the more valuable part thereof,
is situate. The surrogate shall, if the receipts and discharges are proved and acknowledged in
the manner in which conveyances of real estate are required to be proved or acknowledged,
immediately record the receipts and discharges and such proof or acknowledgment in
the book of receipts and discharges in his office. The surrogate shall indorse on each receipt and discharge the book and page where
and the time when it was recorded and he shall sign his name thereto. Such record, or a certified copy thereof under the hand and seal of the surrogate
