Court | Kentucky Court of Appeals |
Appeal from Circuit Court, Daviess County.
Action between the Owensboro Savings Bank & Trust Company's receiver and others and H. A. Williams. From orders of the circuit court sustaining exceptions to the first sale and overruling exceptions to a second sale, Williams appeals. Reversed, with directions to confirm the first sale, and to set aside all orders made with reference to the second sale.
W Foster Hayes, of Owensboro, for appellant.
R. A Miller and R. S. Todd, both of Owensboro, for appellees.
Under a judgment of the Daviess circuit court in favor of the receiver of the Owensboro Savings Bank & Trust Company, there was ordered to be sold certain real estate of the appellant Williams to satisfy lien debts amounting to some $9,000. The commissioner of the court offered this real estate for sale in January, 1912, when the receiver became the purchaser at the price of $6,625; the property purchased by the receiver having been appraised at $6,500. The receiver failed to execute bonds for the purchase money, and filed exceptions to the report of sale, which were sustained by the court and the sale set aside.

To the report of this sale Williams filed exceptions, which were overruled by the court, and this appeal is prosecuted by Williams from the orders of the court sustaining the exceptions to the first sale and overruling the exceptions to the second sale. As we have reached the conclusion that the court erred in sustaining the exceptions to the first sale it is not necessary to further notice the exceptions to the second sale or the arguments of counsel in reference to the ruling of the court in sustaining this sale.
Four exceptions were filed by the receiver to the first sale. The first exception was because the sale was not advertised as required by law. The second exception was because the commissioner demanded that the receiver as purchaser execute sale bonds for erroneous amounts. The third exception was because there were liens for taxes on the property of which the purchaser had no notice at the time of the sale. The fourth exception is the one chiefly relied on by counsel for the receiver, and it is in these words:
The receiver was appointed under section 616 of the Kentucky Statutes, providing that, when the...
