Section 14. Procedure upon interpleader; when independent claim barred

Parties interpleaded shall be served with  the  order  of  interpleader,
  personally  or  by  publication  in manner provided for the service of a
  citation in the surrogate's court, except that in the case  of  a  claim
  for  land  appropriated  publication  in  one newspaper published in the
  county where such land is located,  once  in  each  of  four  successive
  weeks,  shall  be  sufficient  unless otherwise ordered by such court or
  judge. Within three months from the time a party is so brought in he may
  file a claim independently of the claim to which  he  has  been  made  a
  party.  If  he  fails  so  to  do,  he  may  not thereafter file such an
  independent claim except by permission granted by order  of  the  court,
  after  notice  to  the attorney-general, pursuant to subdivision five of
  section ten of this act.
