At all events, a sale can only be justified by extreme necessity and the most pure good faith. Abbott on Shipp. 26. All the circumstances must be submitted to the jury, and they must find both the necessity and good faith. The Patapsco Insurance Company v. Sout...h- gate, 5 Pet. 604.

For it is certain that he has no authority to sell unless in a case of extreme necessity, and when he acts with the most perfect good faith. Gordon v. The Massachusetts Fire & Marine Insurance Co. 2 Pick. 262. It is not sufficient that the master acted in good faith and in the exercise of his best discretion; the claimants must prove there was a moral necessity for the sale, so as to make it an urgent duty upon the master to sell.
