Syllabus

<p>Sheriff's sale — Setting aside sale — Discretion of court.</p> <p>Where an application to set aside a sheriff’s sale is made immediately after the sale, and before the acknowledgment of the deed, and the price is grossly inadequate, the court is at liberty to seize upon any other circumstance in order to give relief.</p> <p>In such a case the court is justified in taking into consideration the fact that a rule to stay the writ was pending, and that the defendant and certain persons who expected to bid, by reason of the rule, either did not attend the sale, or did not prepare themselves to bid.</p>
