§

3531. Proceedings in superior court respecting damages

When a railroad

corporation requires for roadway or building materials land, the owner of which

is unknown, or where there are conflicting claims to the title, or where such

land is encumbered by mortgages, attachments, or the levy of execution, or

otherwise, after having the damages appraised by the commissioners, such

corporation may apply by petition to a superior judge, who, in his or her

discretion, may order the damages awarded by the commissioners to be deposited

with the clerk of the court, or in a bank in the county where the land lies,

subject to the order of such person as the superior judge decides is entitled

to the same, or subject to the future order of the superior judge.
