Syllabus

<p>1. Judicial Saves—Cloud upon title.—The general rule is that before sale is decreed, any cloud on the title, or impediment to a fair sale, ought to be removed as far as practicable. Brown v. Lawson, ante p. 284.</p> <p>2. Idem:— Undivided interest.—Sale of land before partition, held, not erroneous, where no objection was offered when decree was entered, or sale made, and nothing appears to indicate that defendant was prejudiced thereby.</p> <p>8. Idem—Joint principal.—A joint principal in some of the debts for which the land is sold, the proceeds whereof are insufficient to pay all the debts, though owning no part of said land, may object to the confirmation of the sale.</p>
