Supreme Court of Pennsylvania October 9, 1876 (Jackson ex rel. Hoffa v. Morter)

Mr. Justice Mercur

delivered the opinion of the court, October 9th 1876.

All the assignments of error relate to the power of the court to strike off the acknowledgment of a sheriff’s deed and set aside the sale. That it possesses the power under some circumstances cannot be questioned. It naturally flows from the right to supervise the acts of its officer, and to amend its own records.
