55. If the owner of any timber which has passed through any of the works of the company cannot be ascertained, or if there be reasonable grounds to believe that the tolls thereon have not been paid by the owner or reputed owner or person in charge, any mayor or justice of the peace, having jurisdiction within the locality through or adjoining which runs the river or streams used for the driving of timber, or where the timber may be found, if within 32 km of any such works, shall, upon the oath of any director or employee of the company that the just tolls have not been paid or that there are reasonable grounds to believe that they have not been paid, issue a warrant for the seizure of such timber, or of so much thereof as will be sufficient to satisfy the tolls.

Such warrant shall be directed to any constable or to any person sworn in as special constable for that purpose, in the discretion of the magistrate, and shall authorize the person to whom it is directed, if the tolls be not paid within 14 days from the date thereof, to sell the said timber, and, out of the proceeds, to pay to the company the just tolls together with the costs of the warrant and sale, restoring the surplus on demand to the owner.
