by him, or invested under the order or direction of said court,

see fit to demand the same, and until the said court shall direct
said clerk to pay over the same to him, and said order shall
have been complied with by the United States; and the said
court may, in its discretion, before ordering any such valuation
to be paid over to said clerk, require said clerk to enter into an
additional bond to the State, with security to be approved by
said court, in such penal sum as said court may direct, not
exceeding double the amount of such valuation, conditioned
that the said clerk will well and faithfully keep all moneys paid
over to him as such valuation, and will well and faithfully
comply with all the orders of said court in reference thereto ;
but nothing in this article contained shall authorize the con-
demnation of more than ten acres, of land in any one tract for
the use of the United States.
