In some cases of foreclcure the

find that the notice ot sale published
by the sheriff, cost only ?3.25, having
been inserted in one issue of a news

we were assured that tney had no

impression has been that our statutes
required thirty days notice, or five

certainly be considered extortionate
for the sheriffs to pile up more fees
