Section 21

Any person claiming to be entitled to hold any pawn-ticket issued by any pawnbroker and alleging that the same has been lost, destroyed or fraudulently obtained from him, may apply to the pawnbroker for a copy of the entry in his book concerning the pledge, and the pawnbroker shall furnish such copy free of charge and without delay; and notwithstanding section 18, during a period of seven days from the date of the application, shall refuse to deliver up the article to any person presenting the pawn-ticket:

Provided that upon the application of any person, it shall be lawful for a Magistrate to give such order to the pawnbroker as to the delivery of the pledge or the issue of a new pawn-ticket in respect thereof, as the Magistrate may seem fit and the pawnbroker shall give effect to the order.
