““When the money was paid into court, it represented, and stood in the place of, the land condemned, and the claimants had the same right to and interest in the money that they had had in the land. The defendants stood in the relation of owners to the money as they had stood as owners of the land, and the holder of the special taxbills was entitled to the same rights in the money that he had had in the land. The change of the form of the res, did not change the rights of the owner and lienor respectively.” Ross v. Gates, 183 Mo. 338, 347 , 81 S. W. 1107, 1108 .”
