Syllabus

<p>Appeals — Assignments of error — Separate questions — Rule 26.</p> <p>1. An assignment of error which endeavors to raise three separate questions, offends against Rule 26 of the Supreme Court.</p> <p>Decedents’ estates — Orphans’ court sale — Bond—Resale—Act of June 7,1917, P. L. U7.</p> <p>2. Where a bond has been entered in accordance with the Act of June 7, 1917, P. L. 447, after the orphans’ court has decreed a sale of a decedent’s real estate, a second bond need not be ordered in a decree for a resale, as the one already entered will cover the proceeds of the second sale.</p> <p>3. Where at an orphans’ court sale of real estate for the payment of debts, three properties are put up separately, and then put up as a whole, and the bid for the properties offered as a whole is much larger than the aggregate bids when put up separately, one of the parties in interest cannot demand that the sale should be set aside, because the bids on two of the properties exceeded the amount of the scheduled debts, where it appears that there was interest due on the debts, that the expenses of1 selling the estate were not known, and the other party interested did not complain.</p>
