Tucker v. Stone

Exceptions were taken, within the eight days, to the report of sale, and after-wards were overruled, and on June 14, 1893, the sale was finally confirmed. No question is raised but that the sale was duly confirmed on June 14; but the contention is that, the premises being situate some 20 miles from the
