Restitution
of stolen
property by purchaser thereof.
[30 & 31 Vict. c. 35 s. 9.]
No. 9 of 1899.
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
Court that the same has been pawned to a pawnbroker or other person, the Court may order the delivery thereof to the person who appears to the Court to be the owner, either on payment or without payment to the pawnbroker or other person of the amount of the loan or any part thereof, as to the Court, according to the conduct of the owner and the pawnbroker or other person and the other circumstances of the case, may seem just. If the person in whose favour any such order is made pays the money to the pawnbroker or other person under such order, and obtains the property, he shall not afterwards question the validity of the pawn; but, save to that extent, no order made under this section shall have any further effect than to change the possession, and no such order shall prejudice any right of property or right of action in respect to property existing or acquired in the goods either before or after the offence was committed.
(3) Nothing in this section shall prevent any Magistrate or the Court from ordering the return to any person charged with an indictable offence, or to any person named by the Court, of any property found in the possession of the person so charged or in the possession of any other person for him, or of any portion thereof, if the Magistrate or the Court is of opinion that such property or portion thereof can be returned consistently with the interests of justice and with the safe custody or otherwise of the person so charged.
80. Where any person is convicted of larceny or of any other offence which includes the stealing of any property, and it appears to the Court that the convicted person has sold the stolen property to any person and that the purchaser had no knowledge that the same was stolen, and any money has been taken from the convicted person on his apprehension, it shall be lawful for the Court, on the application of the purchaser and on the restitution of the stolen property to the person injured, to order that, out of such money, a sum not exceeding the proceeds of the sale be delivered to the purchaser.
