  such  spring will not result in the depletion of the amount of flow, gas
  or mineral content of the spring for which a permit is asked, or of  any
  other  like  spring,  nor  unless  it also appears that the flow of said
  spring is of scenic  interest  or  that  the  flow  of  such  spring  is

  the transcript in the margin of the record.

  the application of a person who has obtained leave to prosecute the bond
  or undertaking, made upon notice to the plaintiff's  attorney,  in  each
  action  then  pending  upon  such  bond  or  undertaking,  and  in  each
  uncollected judgment recovered thereupon, direct  and  provide  for  the
  distribution  of  the  money,  collected  out  of  the  property  of the
  sureties, among the persons  in  favor  of  whom  the  liabilities  have
  accrued,  in  proportion  to  the  amount  which each one is entitled to
  recover; to be ascertained by a reference, or in such  other  manner  as
  the  court  directs. For the purposes of the motion an order may be made
  by a judge, forbidding the payment to the plaintiff in  any  action,  of
