Verdict on Traverse to have Effect of Judgment.

XXVIII. And be it enacted, That the Entry of the Verdict of the Jury in all Cases of every Traverse in the Crown Book shall be a final Decision, and binding upon all Parties interested, and shall have the Effect of a Judgment in an Action at Law obtained in the Court of Queen’s Bench in Ireland against the said Company, and may be enforced by like Remedies against the said Company as in the Case of Judgments in Actions at Law by all Parties interested therein; and in Cases where a Certificate shall have been delivered such Damages shall be taken and recovered in lieu of the Monies expressed to be payable by the Certificate, and which shall, on Payment of the Damages and any Costs payable by the said Company, be delivered up to the said Company; and such Receipt for such Damages shall be given as is herein-before provided in Cases of Payment of Monies on such Certificates as aforesaid; and where such Damages shall be given in respect of any Lands or Hereditaments the Amount of the Valuation of which shall have been paid into Court, then, if the Amount of such Damages shall be less than the Amount paid into Court, the said Company shall, on a summary Application by Petition, be entitled to receive the Difference between the Amount of such Damages and the Amount of the Sum paid into Court, but if the Amount of the Damages shall exceed the Amount of the Monies paid into Court, then the Difference between the Amount paid in and the Damages shall, at the Costs of the said Company, be paid into Court; and the Payment of such Difference into Court, and the Payment of any Coats payable by the said Company in respect of such Traverse, shall be a good Discharge to the said Company on any such Verdict in the Nature of a Judgment as aforesaid.
