Code
When any person is convicted
of any offence which includes, or amounts to, theft or receiving stolen property, and it is proved that any
other person bought the stolen property from him without knowing or having reason to believe that the
same was stolen, and that any money has on his arrest been taken out of the possession of the convicted
person, the Court may, on the application of such purchaser and on the restitution of the stolen property to
the person entitled to the possession thereof, order that out of such money a sum not exceeding the price
paid by such purchaser be delivered to him within six months from the date of such order.
