Syllabus

<p>Sheriff's sale—Setting aside sale—Inadequacy of price. I</p> <p>It is the settled rule that while inadequacy of price is not by itself suifij cient 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 ordei| to give relief. What other circumstances are sufficient for this purposi is largely in the discretion of the court below, and the Supreme Court wilinot review the exercise of this discretion, except in extreme oases.</p> <p>The Supreme Court will not reverse an order of the court below setting aside a sheriff’s sale of a church where it appears that in addition to gross inadequacy of price, the notice of the sale was deficient in omitting to state that there was a well of water on the premises, and that a portion of the building was fitted up as a residence.</p>
