Perhaps, on inquiry, they may ﬁnd a Sheriff’s Deed Without a Sheriff—a Sale without an Appraiscnicnt, and one of the Executions (for there were two) an Equity Of Redemption, which this extraordinary sale was intended to satisfy, of which there is no judgment on record; and the amount of sale was probably sufficient to liqui- datea dozen Exccutions, which appears to be a mani- fest contravention of the Act.
