17. The company shall make all such fences, drains, and passages as by the award of the said arbitrator they shall be directed to make; but no company shall be required to make the same in such a manner as will prevent or obstruct the working or using of the railway, nor shall they be required to make any fence, drain, or passage in respect of which the owner and occupier, or any former owner and occupier, shall have agreed to receive and shall have been paid compensation in lieu of the making of the works themselves.
