The legislature deemed it expedient, as matter of public policy, to require assignees, in general deeds of assignment for the benefit of creditors, to sell all property assigned to them for the payment of debts, at public auction, within one hundred and twenty days after the execution of the bond, etc., on thirty days’ notice of the time and place of sale. The statute prescribes a mode of sale in this state, and dissenting creditors are not bound by a deed made in a direct contravention of a plain provision of the statute.””
