(1)After a civil prisoner has been released, if there is any balance of diet money, it shall, if it is received from a civil court officer, be returned to the court, and if it is received from the decree-holder, it shall be returned to the decree-holder on his applying for it. If such balance remains unclaimed for more than two months, it shall be remitted to the Treasury to the credit of Government. For every refund of diet money to the decree-holder, a receipt shall be taken and pasted into the admission register opposite the account to which it relates.
