Brief Summary

Execution — Sale in execution — Validity of sale — Appellant challenged the validity of a sale in execution on the grounds of improper notice and procedural irregularities. The sale was conducted by the sheriff following a court order, but the appellant contended that the notice was not properly published as required by the rules. The court held that while procedural compliance is essential, the absence of prejudice to affected parties can render such irregularities condonable, thus upholding the validity of the sale in execution.
