bringing money into cour - Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :

  BRINGING MONEY INTO COURT. The act of depositing money in the hands of the 
  proper officer of the court, for the purpose of satisfying a debt or duty, 
  or of an interpleader. 
       2. Whenever a tender of money is pleaded, and the debt is not 
  discharged by the tender and refusal, money may be brought into court, 
  without asking leave of the court; indeed, in such cases the money must be 
  brought into court in order to have the benefit of the tender. In other 
  cases, leave must be had, before the money can be brought into court. 
       3. In general, if the money brought into court is sufficient to satisfy 
  the plaintiff 's claim, he shall not recover costs. See Bac. Ab. Tender, &c.
