Syllabus

<p>Sheriff’s sale — Advertisements—Inadequacy of price.</p> <p>1. An advertisement of a sheriff’s sale of coal lands sufficiently described the property where it set out the description contained in the title deeds, referred to a plan of lots, and stated that the coal- and minerals under the said lots were to be sold; and it is immaterial that it failed to mention the particular deed record containing the title, that it described the tract as containing 134 acres instead of 134 acres more or less, as recited in the deed, that it failed to mention that large quantities of coal were being taken from the adjoining property, that it failed to refer to the railroad siding terminating on the lands, and that it failed to refer to the advantageous location of the land with reference to mining operations on adjacent lands.</p> <p>2. Mere inadequacy of price is not sufficient ground for setting aside a sheriff’s sale of real estate.</p>
