N.J.S.A. 45:22-17 — Redemption by mail or express; if sum insufficient

45:22-17. Redemption by mail or express; if sum insufficient When a ticket, instead of being presented in person, is sent to the pawnbroker by mail or express, accompanied with a money order or bank draft for the amount due, including the charges for shipment as desired, and twenty-five cents for packing, the pledge shall be securely packed and forwarded by the pawnbroker in accordance with the remitter's instructions, if any. If the remittance is insufficient to cover the amount due, the charges of shipment as desired, and packing, the pawnbroker shall either notify the remitter of the amount of the deficiency or send the pledge subject to the payment of shipping charges by the consignee. The pawnbroker's liability for the pledge shall cease upon delivery thereof to the carrier or his agent.
