§ 158. Power of comptroller to maintain actions. The comptroller may,
at any time before the sale of the mortgaged premises, bring an action
to restrain the commission of waste by any person upon the mortgaged
premises, or to correct any mistake or omission in the description
thereof, or to recover the amount due on a mortgage. At any time before
payment and discharge of mortgage or before sale, if any person cuts or
removes or injures the timber, fences, buildings or other fixtures
belonging to such mortgaged premises, or threatens so to do, the
comptroller may maintain a like action for damages or an injunction.
