106.
| (1) Whenever a court is satisfied that a bond has been forfeited, the court may call upon any person bound by such bond, to pay the penalty thereof or to show cause why it should not be paid. |
|
| (2) If sufficient cause is not shown and the penalty is not paid the court may proceed to recover the same by issuing a warrant for the attachment and sale of the movable or immovable property, wherever situated belonging to such person. Whenever immovable property has been sold under the provisions of this section it shall be lawful for the officer under whose direction was carried out to execute a conveyance in favour of the purchaser, and a conveyance so executed shall vest the property sold in the purchaser in like manner as if such conveyance had been executed by the person against whom the warrant for the attachment and sale of such immoveable property was issued. |
|
| (3) If such penalty be not paid and cannot be recovered by such attachment and sale the person so bound shall be liable by order of the court which issued the warrant to imprisonment for a term which may extend to six months. |
|
| (4) The court may at its discretion remit any portion of the penalty mentioned and enforce payment in part only. |
