When any person shall make oath before any justice of the peace that he or she has lost any property by wreck or by flood, storm, or other accident, give a description of the property, and further state that he or she has reason to suspect that the property so lost is secreted in the possession or custody of any person, the justice may issue his or her warrant to the constable of the township, describing the property in the warrant, requiring the constable to search for and to take into his or her possession the property when found. If the claimant shall prove his or her title to the property thus found before the justice issuing the warrant, the justice shall cause the constable to deliver to the owner the property upon payment of the fees that may be due the justice and constable for their services, which shall be the same as for like services in ordinary cases at law.
