This is an appeal from an order of the court below confirming the sale of real estate under a decree of foreclosure.
The first objection is that the premises were not separately appraised. To this there a,re two answers. In the first place there is nothing in the record to show that the premises constituted two separate and distinct tracts. The lands were contiguous, and if used as a single tract there was no error in so appraising the property. Again, no objections were made to the appraisement until after the report of the sale was filed. This was too late to be available. (Vought v. Foxworthy, 38 Neb. 790; Ecklund v. Willis, 42 Neb. 737; Burkett v. Clark, 46 Neb. 466; Overall v. McShane, 49 Neb. 64.)
It is urged that no certificates of liens were ever obtained of the county clerk and clerk of the district court. The return of the sheriff on the order of sale shows that certificatets of liens existing against the premises were obtained from the county treasurer, county clerk, and clerk of the district court, and copies thereof, together with a copy of the appraisement, were forthwith filed in the district court, and the return of the officer in this respect is not discredited by any testimony found in the record.
A complaint is made that the purchaser at the sale has not paid, but refuses to pay, the amount of his bid for the premises. The foundation for this assertion is the affidavits of the sheriff and clerk of the district court, copies whereof a,re included in the transcript. These affidavits cannot be considered, for the reason there is no bill of exceptions in the case. (Hobbs v. Hunt, 34 Neb. 657; Hunter v. Bell, 33 Neb. 249; Barry v. Barry, 39 Neb. 521; Norfolk Nat. Bank v. Job, 48 Neb. 774.)
Another reason urged for vacating the sale is that the same was not held at the court house, or at the door of the building wherein the district court was last held.
