Section 9:
Payment by non-proprietors.
And it is hereby enacted, that Collectors shall, at any time before
sunset of the day preceding the fixed day of sale receive as a deposit from any party not being a proprietor
of the estate in arrear, the amount of the arrear of Revenue due from it, to be carried to the credit of the said
estate at sunset as aforesaid, unless before that time the arrear shall have been liquidated by a proprietor of
the estate. And in case the party so depositing, whose money shall have been credited to the estate in the
manner aforesaid, shall be a plaintiff in a suit pending before a Court of Justice for the possession of the
same or any part thereof, it shall be competent to the Judge of the Zillah in which such estate is situated, to
order the said party to be put into temporary possession of the said estate, subject to the rules in force for
taking security in the cases of appellants and defendants. And if the party depositing whose money shall
have been credited as aforesaid shall prove before a competent Civil Court that the deposit was made in
order to protect an interest of the said party, which would have been endangered, or damaged by the sale of
the estate, he shall be entitled to recover the amount of the deposit with interest, from the proprietors of the
said estate.
