Where any Magistrate is satisfied by information on oath that there is reasonable ground to believe that any dangerous goods to which this Ordinance applies are being kept, sent, conveyed, or exposed for sale within the Colony in contravention of this Ordinance, at any place, whether a building or not, or in any ship or vehicle, such Magistrate shall grant a warrant by virtue whereof it shall be lawful for any person named in such warrant to enter the place, ship, or vehicle named in such warrant, and every part thereof, and examine the same and search for such goods therein, and if any such goods be found therein, which are kept, sent, conveyed, or exposed for sale in contravention of this Ordinance, to seize and remove such goods or articles, and the vessels or packages containing the same, and to detain such goods and vessels or packages until a Magistrate has determined whether the same are or not forfeited, the proceedings for which forfeiture shall be commenced forthwith after the seizure.
Any person seizing any dangerous goods to which this Ordinance applies, in pursuance of this section, shall not be liable to any suit for detaining the same, or for any loss or damage incurred in respect of such goods, otherwise than by any wilful act or neglect while the same are so detained.
