§ 1076. Satisfaction or protection of lien. Where the interlocutory
judgment directs a sale, if the right of dower of the plaintiff is
inferior to any other lien upon the property, the judgment may, in the
discretion of the court, direct that the property be sold either subject
to the lien, or discharged from the lien; and, in the latter case, that
the officer making the sale pay the amount of the lien out of the
proceeds of the sale.
