9.-(1) At the hour stated on the auction bill the auctioneer shall commence with the first lot; he shall declare the amount of the highest bid made to him in writing, together with the name of the bidder; he shall then call for oral bids and when it is apparent that no further bids are then forthcoming, he shall continue with the next lot on the auction bill in the same manner as with the first and so on with the remaining lots or so many of them as will cover the sum to be raised. He shall then state the highest bids received for each lot, call for further bids for any of the properties and if no bids are forthcoming, he shall declare the highest bidders and close the sale.
(2) In no case shall the auctioneer finally sell more properties than are required to cover the sum to be raised.
(3) Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or a Judge or unless special instructions are given by the Principal Land Registry Officer after application of the mortgagor or judgment debtor, house property will form the last lot to be sold.
(4) The auctioneer shall keep a separate record of all bids made for each particular lot put up for sale and shall attach such records to the auction bill on the completion of sale.
The record of the highest bids shall be signed or marked by the highest bidders and by the auctioneer. [*111]
(5) The auctioneer shall not proceed with the sale-
(a) if at any time before oral bids are received the judgment debtor or mortgagor, or someone on their behalf, shall pay to him such a sum as will cover the debt and all costs ; or
(b) if at any time during the sale the judgment debtor or mortgagor, or someone on their behalf, shall pay such a sum as with the sum at that moment realized by the sale will cover the debt and all costs.
