If, in any case, the petitioner fails to pay or deposit the damages and costs that may be adjudged to the respondent, within said period of sixty days, and afterwards either the petitioner or any subsequent owner of the same water privilege for the improvement of which such petition was brought brings another petition against the same respondent for liberty to flow or take the same lands for the same purposes, the court to which such petition may be brought shall, on motion of the respondent, ascertain the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by him in defending against the former petition, and order them to be paid to him by the petitioner; and, if such payment is not made within the time limited in such order, the plaintiff shall be nonsuited.
