[SEAL]

Provided, if it shall appear that any such intoxicating liquor is likely to be disposed of or removed during the night, any two judges may issue such warrant to search any such house, building, premises, boat, vehicle, receptacle or other place, in the night time, and shall so direct and state in the warrant. Any warrant issued by two judges shall be returnable to either of the judges issuing the same, or in case both be absent or unable to act, before some other judge having cognizance of the case. No intoxicating liquor or other property seized by virtue of any such warrant shall be discharged or returned to any person claiming the same on account of any insufficiency or informality in the complaint or warrant, or because it is not under the seal of the judge, but the complaint or warrant may be amended by the judge at any time pending the proceedings. Any claimant shall be entitled to have his right of property in such liquor and other property tried in a summary manner before the judge to whom the search warrant may have been returned.

§ 18. When intoxicating liquor is seized the officer making such seizure shall in his return upon the warrant, particularly specify all the intoxicating liquor and other property taken, and the place where, and the person (if any there be) from whom the same was taken, and shall safely keep the same subject to the disposition of the judge or court. No intoxicating liquor or other property seized under this Act shall be taken from the custody of the officer by a writ of replevin or other process, while any proceedings provided for in this Act are pending. A final judgment ordering the forfeiture of such intoxicating liquor or property so seized shall be a bar to all suits for the recovery of the same or the value thereof, or for any damage arising by reason of the seizing or detention thereof.

19. If any person shall be arrested upon any search warrant the officer serving the same shall forthwith make and file in the proper court or before the proper judge, an information or complaint charging a violation of any of the provisions of any statute or municipal ordinance of this State that may appear to have been committed by such person, but nothing herein contained shall prevent any person from filing such information or complaint before or after the search warrant is issued. When any suit or prosecution is commenced for a violation of any law, all intoxicating liquor, vessels, implements, furniture and vehicles seized may be produced or used as evidence upon such trial and shall be safely kept under the direction of the judge or court, so long as may be needed for that purpose. Such trial shall take place as speedily as possible and shall have preference in the order of hearing to other cases pending before the judge or court hearing the same. As soon as all such cases are disposed of, if it shall appear that such intoxicating liquor was manufactured, kept for sale, used, disposed of, or
