Basnett v. Higgins
Basnett v. Higgins
Opinion of the Court
The only question in this case for the the consideration of the court, is, whether a sale of land by the trustee in pursuance of the terms of the trust deed, can be set aside on the ground of inadequacy of price, when the price obtained was 650 dollars, and the evidence of sundry witnesses unimpeaehed, varied in their estimate of the value from 500 to 600, to 650, to 700, to 725, to 800 dollars, and where the highest bid at public auction was 605 dollars and 15 cents.
The allegation of fraud and connivance in the bill, as between the trustee and purchaser being denied in the answer, there is no proof to sustain that charge.
Decree reversed.
