Syllabus

<p>Syllabus.</p> <p>-A certain sanctity attaches to a judicial sale which has been made after the due performance of all legal formalities and requirements; and, in the absence of clear proof of fraud or unfairness, it is but a reasonable presumption that the public officers and other functionaries have performed their duties in that regard.</p> <p>And when the positive evidence of several competent witnesses supports the ap praisement, it is but just, in the interest of an orderly administration of the law, that the validity of such sale be maintained, notwithstanding a number of credible witnesses were produced at the trial to testify that the property was really worth much more.</p>
