Mr. Justice Miller,
dissenting:
;■ I dissent from so much of the judgment of the court in this case as requires the entire property to b.e sold together and •make provision afterwards for dividing the proceeds according -to the váluation that may be made to. ascertain how much of ■the money should go to appellant,. Maria Gray.
<■ I am of opinion that she has a right to haye the .piece of ..ground, on which her mortgage is declared to be the first lien, sold separately, so that she can bid whatever sum she may see ' proper in satisfaction of her mortgage'. If this sum should be -..more than would satisfy the mortgage, of course the excess . would go' to the satisfaction of Pepper’s debt.'' .If it should *655sell for less, then 'Pepper has no interest in it, and I see no reason why she should be compelled to compete with Pepper or anybody else in purchasing the entire property, which is worth four or five times as much as her single piece is worth, in order to make that piece bring its full value on the sale.-
