If —
any person is convicted under this Law before the Grand Court of knowingly and designedly pawning with a pawnbroker anything being the property of another person, the pawner not being employed or authorised by the owner thereof to pawn the same;
any person is convicted before the Grand Court of feloniously taking or fraudulently obtaining any goods and chattels, and it appears to the Judge that the same have been pawned with a pawnbroker; or
in any proceedings before the Grand Court or in any Court, it appears to the Judge or Court that any goods and chattels brought before the Judge or Court, have been unlawfully pawned with a pawnbroker,
the Judge or Court, on proof of the ownership of the goods and chattels, may, if he or the Court thinks fit, order the delivery thereof to the owner, either on payment to the pawnbroker of the amount of the loan or of any part thereof, or without payment thereof or of any part thereof, as to the Judge or Court, according to the conduct of the owner and the other circumstances of the case may seem just and fitting.
