which said payment shall be lawful under the provisions of

defendant shall be entitled to his costs, the same to be appor-
tioned by the court where there are two or more causes of
action joined as aforesaid, and the plaintiff shall be entitled to
so much of the sum paid into court as shall be found for him.
