SLAVE TRADE ACT 1873 - SECT 25

Recovery of forfeitures under 1824 c.113.

25. All pecuniary forfeitures and penalties imposed by the said enactments,
with which this Act is to be construed as one, may be sued for, prosecuted,
and recovered in any Court of Record or of Vice-Admiralty in any part of Her
Majesty's dominions wherein the offence was committed, or where the offender
may be, in like manner as any penalty or forfeiture incurred in the United
Kingdom under any Act for the time being in force relating to Her Majesty's
Customs, or (in the case of the High Court of Admiralty or of a Court of
Vice-Admiralty) in like manner as any vessel seized in pursuance of this Act.

Such pecuniary penalties and forfeitures shall, subject to the express
provisions of the said enactments, be paid and applied in like manner as the
net proceeds of a vessel seized otherwise than by the commander or officer of
one of Her Majesty's ships, or of the cruiser of a foreign state.
