Syllabus

<p>Sheriff's sale — Setting aside sale — Inadequacy of price — Misdescription — Unfair conduct of purchaser.</p> <p>While inadequacy of price is not by itself sufficient to justify the court in setting aside a sheriff’s sale, yet where there is great inadequacy, the court may seize upon other circumstances in order to give relief. Thus, a sale will be set aside where there was great inadequacy of price, and a misdescription of the property by including seven and a half acres not owned by the defendant and not subject to the lien of the judgment, and also evidence of unfair conduct on the part of the purchaser in refusing shortly before the sale to carry out his agreement to buy a part of the premises at private sale, thereby preventing the defendant from paying the judgment.</p>
