Welch v. Murray

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania

Decided March 15, 1805

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania · decided 1805-03-15

On a venditioni exponas returnable to September term x 804, one undivided sixth part of a house and lot in the city, was returned sold to the plaintiff, during the life of the defendant. A motion was entered in December term 1804, to set aside the sale, on the ground of irregularity. The motion was made in behalf of Joshua B. Bond, a creditor of the defendant, but who had obtained no judgment against him.

Decided 1805-03-15

*By the COURT.

¶1Unquestionably there has been ir- r* regularity; but the delay in the application of Bond, who ^ bid at the sheriff’s sale, and suffered the plaintiff to discharge an earlier lien on the property, and the nature of the estate sold, forbid us to interfere. The interest of the defendant may cease before a second sale, or the premises may not be sold again for the same sum. We have no proof of inadequacy of price. ■

¶2Motion denied.
