7. Every mayor, or other member of the council, or every municipal officer, or every constable or peace officer, may order a peddler to show him his license for the current year, and, in the event of refusal or upon failure of the peddler to have such a license, or if the latter has otherwise infringed any provision of this act or of the resolution passed under its authority, he may arrest such peddler and detain him without a warrant, provided that, within a reasonable delay, he be brought before a magistrate having jurisdiction; or such mayor, member of the council, officer or constable may, at his option, without arresting the peddler, seize the goods, wares and merchandise found in the possession of such peddler, as well as the containers and vehicles in which they are found and the animal which is used to carry or transport the same, and such seizure shall be subject to confirmation by the court, and anything which has been so seized shall, when so adjudged by the court, be sold by auction, and the proceeds of the sale shall belong to such municipality.
