Miss. Code § 27-41-87
The board of supervisors of any county affected is hereby authorized to pay such reasonable expenses, except attorneys' fees, as may be incurred in obtaining information deemed necessary to maintain an action under Section 27-41-83.
In any case where funds are received by the Attorney General in consequence of any action or demand under Section 27-41-83, involving lands in more than one county, and where the court in which said suit was filed does not allot the funds between said counties, or where said counties cannot agree among themselves as to the proper distribution of such funds, then the Attorney General may apply to the chancery court in the county where the land or some part thereof is located in vacation or in term time for an allotment and distribution of the funds between the counties. It shall be the duty of the Attorney General in such case to notify the interested counties that he has filed such application, and he shall notify them when and where said application will be heard. The judgment of the chancellor in such matters will be final, and the Attorney General shall distribute said funds in accordance with the chancellor's order, and a copy of said order shall be filed with the chancery clerk in each of the interested counties. The counties shall have the right to agree among themselves as to the proper distribution of any such fund; and where such agreement is had, it shall be entered on the minutes of the board of supervisors in each county, and the Attorney General shall then distribute the funds in accordance therewith. However, it shall be the duty of the court hereafter, in which suit is filed or tried, to make proper distribution of such funds between said counties.
