Costs in case of traverse.
8 & 9 Vict. c. 18.
|
7. In case upon the trial of any traverse under the provisions of the said Act it shall appear that the sum awarded to the traverser by the jury shall be less than the sum awarded by the arbitrator, it shall be lawful for the judge, if he shall think fit, to adjudge that such traverser is not entitled to any costs of such traverse, or that the company is entitled to costs not exceeding the sum of ten pounds against such traverser; and such adjudication of such judge shall be entered in the Crown Book; and such costs as awarded shall be deducted from the purchase or compensation money payable by the company to such traverser, or shall be recovered from him by distress in like manner as is provided by the fifty-third section of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, 1845, with respect to costs payable to promoters.
