    "head_matter": "FEDERATED TEXTILES, Incorporated, v. MOORESVILLE SHIRT CORPORATION.\n(Filed 2 May, 1934.)\nExecution G a \u2014 Under facts found ,by clerk in this case it was not error for him to refuse to confirm execution sale and to order resale.\nWhere upon a motion to confirm an execution sale the clerk finds that tlie announcement of the auctioneer at the sale that the sale would stand open for twenty days chilled the bidding and that the sale was not conducted in a prudent and just manner, and that the price bid was grossly inadequate, it is not error for the clerk to decline to confirm the sale and to order a resale.\nAppeal by P. M. Dillon from Harding, J., at March Term, 1934, of Tredell.\nMotion by P. M. Dillon to confirm execution sale and to require sheriff to turn over to movant all personal property of the defendant offered at said sale on 2 December, 1933.\nThe facts found by the clerk are these:\n1. The sheriff of Iredell County, under order of execution, levied upon the stock of goods belonging to the defendant and advertised the same for sale on 2 December, 1933.\n2. The sheriff\u2019s representative announced at the sale that the same would stand open twenty days for a 10 per cent advance bid.\n3. This announcement chilled the bidding.\n4. The property offered for sale had a cash value of $3,000. It was knocked down to P. M. Dillon for $700. An increased bid of $1,000 was filed with the sheriff within ten days. The debts of the defendant are in excess of $3,300.\n5. The bid of P. M. Dillon was grossly inadequate and the sheriff did not conduct the sale in a prudent and just manner, so as to realize a fair price for the property offered for sale.\nWhereupon the clerk declined to confirm the sale and ordered a resale of the property. This order was approved by the judge of the Superior Court, and the movant appeals, assigning error.\nNo counsel appearing for plaintiff.\nA. B. Baymer for movant, Dillon.\nJ. G-. Lewis for sheriff, Kimball.\nZeb. V. Turlington for defendant."
