- Setting aside sheriff's sale—Inadequate price—Mistake of attorney—Discretion of court—Practice, O. P. ■ A court does not abuse its judicial discretion in setting aside a sheriff’s sale whei’e it appears that only $195 was bid at the .sale, where the application to set aside the sale is accompanied by an offer to bid $1,500, and it also appears that counsel for a mortgage creditor had neglected to bid under a mistaken impression that the mortgage would not be discharged.
