EXPLOSIVES ACT 1875 - SECT 89

Supplemental provisions as to forfeiture of explosive.

89. Where a court before whom a person is convicted of an offence against
this Act has power to forfeit any explosive owned by or found in the
possession or under the control of such person, the court may, if it think it
just and expedient, in lieu of forfeiting such explosive, impose upon such
person, in addition to any other penalty or punishment, a penalty not
exceeding such sum as appears to the court to be the value of the explosive so
liable to be forfeited.

Where any explosive, or ingredient of an explosive, is alleged to be liable
under this Act to be forfeited, any indictment, information, or complaint may
be laid against the owner of such explosive or ingredient, for the purpose
only of enforcing such forfeiture; and where the owner is unknown, or cannot
be found, a court may cause a notice to be advertised, stating that unless
cause is shown to the contrary at the time and place named in the notice, such
explosive will be forfeited, and at such time and place the court after
hearing the owner or any person on his behalf (who may be present), may order
all or any part of such explosive or ingredient to be forfeited.
