quish a levy to the prejudice of purchasers; but embarrassments upon
the title, difficulties in making a fair sale, or the probability of not
making the money from it in consequence of earlier incumbrances, are
sufficient causes. Bank of Lake Erie v. Western Reserve Bank, 444.
14. Lands lying under a judgment lien, which have been sold to purchasers,
must be sold to satisfy the judgment, in the inverse order of the dates
of the purchase. Ib.

the equity by bill, is entitled to be first satisfied. Loring v. Melendy
and others, 355.
