Per Curiam,

We see no reason for disturbing the discretionary action of the ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍learned court below in this case in setting aside the sheriff’s sale. The reasons stated in the opinion are quite sufficient to justify the ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍action óf the court. The application to set the sale aside was made immediately after the sale and’ before the acknowledgment of any ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍deed. The price was grossly inadequate, and the court was at liberty to seize upon any other circumstances in order to give relief. ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍We do not review the action of the lower courts in setting aside sheriff’s sales except in extreme cases, and this is not one ‍​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‍of them.

Order affirmed and appeal dismissed at the cost of the appellant.
