Opinion of the Court
No sufficient reason'for setting aside the sheriff’s sale in this case has been shown either in the court below or here. The ■discretion vested in the court was wisely exercised in discharging the rule to show cause. There is nothing in either of the specifications of error that would justify a reversal or modification of the decree.

- Sheriff's sale — Setting aside sale — Price—Description. A sheriff’s sale of land will not be set aside for inadequacy of price where it appears that, although the bid was very small, the land was sold subject to heavy charges. A sheriff’s sale of land will not be set aside because the sheriff in his published description did not mention that the land lay in gas territory.
