Where property is seized under section 37, the person on whose premises
it was at the time of the seizure, or the person from whom it was taken, if
other than the person on whose premises it was, shall, unless previously
charged with having been found in possession of the same without sufficient
excuse or justification, or with receiving the same knowing it to have been
stolen, be summoned before the Magistrate of the district in which such
premises are situate, to account for his possession of such property, and the
Magistrate shall make such order respecting the disposal of such property,
and may award such costs as the justice of the case may require.
