or owners will sustain by the use and occupation of the property
required by the said company, and the said jury shall reduce
their inquisition to writing and sign and seal the same; and it
shall then be returned by the sheriff to the clerk of the circuit
court for his county, and be filed by said clerk in his office, and
shall be confirmed by said court any time after the expiration of
thirty days from the date of such filing, if no sufficient cause to
the contrary be shown, and when confirmed shall be recorded by
said clerk at the expense of the company; but if the same be set
aside the said court shall direct another inquisition to be taken,
in the manner above described; and in case the second or any
other inquisition which is confirmed by the court shall not award
to the land owner a larger amount of damages than was awarded
by the first inquisition, the court may, in its discretion, order the
costs of said second or other inquisition to be paid by the owner
or owners of said land or materials condemned; and the inquisi-
tion shall, in all cases, describe the property taken or the bounds
of the land condemned, and the quality or duration of the interest
in the same, valued for the company, and such valuation, when
paid or tendered to the owner or owners of the property, his, her
or their legal representatives, shall entitle the said company to
the estate and interest in the same thus valued as if it had been
legally conveyed by the owner or owners of the same; and the
valuation, if not received when tendered, may at any time there-
after be received without costs from said company by the owner
or owners, his, her or their legal representatives; and the sheriff
shall keep the said jury together for a reasonable time, until they
shall agree upon and sign and seal the said inquisition; arid in
case it shall so happen that the jury can not agree after being
kept together as aforesaid, the sheriff may, in his discretion, dis-
charge the said jury, and without any further warrant from a
justice of the peace shall, within five days thereafter, summon
another jury of twenty inhabitants, as aforesaid, not upon the
former jury; and the same proceedings shall be had in all
respects as is hereinbefore provided; and in case of a second or
other disagreement of the jury the same proceedings shall be had
until a verdict or inquisition shall be made and returned as afore-
said.
