s 8Payment of rewards

If in any case, in the opinion of the Museum Committee which had retained any antiquity in accordance with the provisions of this Act, the amount payable to the finder or to the owner of the land under section 5

would not be adequate and such finder or owner as the case may be consents thereto the Committee may in its discretion pay to such finder or owner a reward of such sum of money as it may think fit in place of any payment payable under section 5 provided that no such reward shall be paid to the finder where the finder has failed to report the discovery of the same in accordance with the provisions of section 4 of this Act.
