82. Whenever any property whatsoever has been stolen, taken, extorted, obtained, embezzled, or otherwise disposed of in such a manner as to amount to a felony, either at common law or by virtue of this Ordinance, any number of receivers at different times of such property, or of any part or parts thereof, may be charged with substantive felonies in the same indictment, and may be tried together, notwithstanding that the principal felon is not included in the same indictment or is not in custody or amenable to justice.
83. If, on the trial of any two or more persons indicted for jointly receiving any property, it is proved that one or more of such persons separately received any part or parts of such property, it shall be lawful for the jury to convict on such indictment such of the said persons as may be proved to have received any part or parts of such property.
