It is to be the duty of the SecyInterior to purchase from the owner or owners at such price, not exceeding its actual cash value, as may be mutually agreed on between the Secretary and such owner or owners, and not exceeding the appraisal made by the commission of 9 in their report to Robert Ould, U.S. district attorney for the DistCol, onthe 2lst of January, 1861, such private property as may be necessary for car rying the act into effect, the value of the property so purchased to be paid to the owner or owners on the requisition of the Secretary; but before payment shall be made the owner or owners of the property purchased are, by good and sufficient deed or deeds in due form of law and approved by the AttyGen of the U.S., to fully release and convey to the U.S. their several and respective rights in the titles to such lands and property so purchased. 1f the SecyInterior shall not be able to agree with the owner or owners upon the price to be paid, or if, for any other cause, he shall be unable to obtain the title to any such property by mutual agreementwith the owneror owners, it is tobe his duty to make application to the supreme court of the DistCol; which court is required, upon such application, in such mode and under such rules and'regulations as it may adopt, to make a just and equitable appraisement of the gish value of the several interests of each and every owner of the real estate and improvements thereon necessary to be taken for the public use and to which the Secretary has been unable to obtainthe title by mutual agreement with the owner or own ers. The fee simple of all premises so appropriated for public use, of which an appraise.ment shall have been made under the order and direction of the court, is upon payment to the owner or owners respectively of the appraised value, or in case the Owner or owners refuse or neglect for 15 days after the appraisement of the cash value of' the lands and improvements by the court to demand it from the SecyInterior, upon depositin the appraised value in the court to the credit of such owner or owners respectively to be vested in the U.S. And the SecyInterior is to pay to the several owner or owners the appraised value of the several premises as specified in the appraisement of the court, or pay into court by deposit, the appraised value.

The costs occasioned by the inquiry and assessment are to be paid by the U.S.; and as to other costs which may arise, they are to be charged or taxed as the court may direct. No delay in making an as sessment of compensation, or in taking os session, is to be occasioned by any doubt which may arise as to the ownership of the property, or any part of it, or as to the interests of the respective owners, but in such cases the court is to require a deposit of the money allowed as compensation for the whole property, or the part in dispute. In all cases, as soon as the U.S shall have paid the compensation assessed or secured its payment, by a deposit of money, under the order of the court, possession of the property may be taken.
