§ 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.
