I believe the law has run its coarse on someone who owes a lot of money on goods and chattles and the municipality is involved to the extent that the sherriff is empowered to hire an auctioneer and sell off goods until enough money is raised to pay off creditors. Here we have "tax" sales whereby perons who owe three or more years taxes on their property can have their property sold, the taxes owing deducted and given the balance. Penny auctions were held in the depression years of the 30's. It was a sherriffs sale, but people were so poor and had no money, if a neighbour was being forced out all the neighbourhood would come to the sale and bid in pennies...ie a walking plow for two cents , a draft horse for three cents, a calf for a penny....the sherriff had no choice but to accept the highest bid..the neighbours then all went home and left their purchases there on the spot...they saved their neighbour's chattles, dispensed his debt for pennies..knowing that their neighbours would so the same for them if they fell into forclosure or sherriff's sale..kinda interesting history the Great Depression....kind like today huh?
