Whenever any person, or the president, secretary, treasurer, or
other
officer of any corporation mentioned in Section 2 of this Act, or his, her,
its or their duly authorized agent who has personal knowledge of the facts,
shall make oath in writing before any judge or associate judge, that the
party so making such affidavit has reason to believe and does believe that
any of his, her, its or their liquefied petroleum gas containers marked
with the name, initials, mark or other device of said owner, are in the
possession of or being used by or being filled or transferred
by, or that liquefied petroleum gas is being withdrawn from the container
by, any person whose name, initials, mark or other device does not appear on
said containers, and who is in the possession of, filling or refilling, or
using any such containers without the written consent of the owner of such
name, initials or trade mark, the judge or associate judge may, when
satisfied that there is reasonable cause, issue a search warrant and cause
the premises designated to be searched for the purpose of discovering and
obtaining the same, and may also cause to be brought before him the person
in whose possession such containers may be found, and shall then inquire
into the circumstances of such possession; and if such judge or associate
judge finds that such person has been guilty of a violation of this Act, he
shall impose the punishment herein prescribed, and he shall also award
the
possession of
property taken upon such search warrant to the owner thereof.
