Syllabus

<p>1. Judicial Sales—Proceedings.—Objections to confirmations founded on errors and irregularities in the proceedings, should be made in the court below, as the same might, on timely notice, have been remedied.</p> <p>2. Idem—Defect of title.—General rule in Virginia is, that objections by purchaser for defect of title should be made before sale is confirmed, and such objections, made afterward, come too late, except in cases of after-discovered mistake, fraud, and the like. Watson v. Hoy and als., 28 Gratt. 698.</p> <p>3. Idem—Reference.—In Virginia it is not the universal rule to refer to a commissioner to report on the title, though such reference may be proper where the title is doubtful and obscure or depending upon matters in pais.</p> <p>4. Circumstances warranting that the purchaser should be compelled to comply with the terms of the sale.</p>
