Section 338
SEC. 338. Any person claiming to be interested in the property sold under the provisions of the preceding section may, within three months after such sale, apply to the Insular Collector for a remission of the forfeiture and a restoration of the proceeds of such sale, and the same may be granted by the Insular Collector upon payment of duties, if any, and upon satisfactory proof, to be furnished in such manner as he shall direct, that the applicant at the time of the seizure and sale of the property in question did not know of the seizure, and was in such circumstances as prevented him from knowing the same, and that such forfeiture was incurred without willful negligence or any intention of fraud on the part of the owner of such property, but no such remission or restoration shall be effective until approved by the Secretary of Finance and Justice.
