§ 1074. Direction that a part be laid off. In a case specified in section 1071, where the property, or a part thereof, consists of one or more vacant or unimproved lots, the plaintiff's consent may contain a stipulation to take a distinct parcel, out of those lots, in lieu of a gross sum. In that case, the interlocutory judgment, instead of directing a sale, may direct if it appears to be just so to do, that commissioners be appointed to admeasure and lay off to the plaintiff a distinct parcel, out of the vacant or unimproved lots; and, if there is any other property, that it be sold, and a gross sum be paid to her out of the proceeds thereof, as prescribed in sections 1075, 1076, 1077 and 1078. The plaintiff's title to each distinct parcel, admeasured and laid off to her, as prescribed in this section, is that of an estate of inheritance in fee simple. In admeasuring and laying off the same, the commissioners must consider quantity and quality relatively, according to the value of the plaintiff's right of dower in the vacant or unimproved lots, out of which the admeasurement is to be made; which must be ascertained, in proportion to the value of those lots, as prescribed in sections 1075, 1076, 1077 and 1078, for fixing a gross sum to be paid to her out of the proceeds of a sale.
