s 13

(1)

If any person is convicted in any court of an off-ence under Chapter XVII of the Penal C6de in respect of any property, and it appears to the court that the same has been sold to a licensed dealer, the court on proof of the ownership of the property may, if it thinks fit, order the delivery thereof to the owner either on payment to the licensed dealer of the amount of the purchase price or any part thereof or without payment thereof or of any part thereof as to the court according to the conduct of the owner and the other circumstances of the case seems just and fit.

(2)

The court may also adjourn the proceedings for the attendance of the licensed dealer and may summon him to attend at the adjourned hearing.

(3)

If after hearing the licensed dealer the court is of opinion that he has not exercised due care in purchasing any stolen property, it may order him to pay a fine of $1,000.
