    Smith, appellant, and Alton and others, respondents.
    Decree opened, sheriff’s sale set aside, and mortgagor let in to make defense, on the ground of surprise and sacrifice.
    
      Mr. Stone, for appellant.
   Ti-ie Chief Justice.

This was an appeal from the order of the Chancellor opening the decree to sell in a foreclosure case, setting aside the sheriff’s sale and letting the mortgagor in to make defence. We think this order was proper and equitable. The decree and sale were a surprise to the defendant, and the property has been greatly sacrificed,

Let the order appealed from be affirmed, with costs.

The whole court concurred.
