¶1In an action commenced in tlie district court of Douglas county to foreclose a mortgage the case proceeded to decree of foreclosure, to enforce which an order of sale issued, sale was made, and a motion to confirm it filed. At this stage of the proceedings a motion to set aside the sale was presented on behalf of the principal defendants, the ground of the motion being that the appraisement of the property made and returned as a part of a complete and perfect judicial sale was too low. This motion was overruled and the motion to confirm the sale sustained. It is urged in this court that the trial court erred in not setting the sale aside.
