South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts38—Goods fraudulently or clandestinely removed
If the immediate tenant, before, at, or within fourteen days after the
expiration of his term or tenancy, fraudulently or clandestinely removes any
goods from the premises in respect of which rent is due by him to prevent the
landlord from distraining upon the goods for rent, it shall be lawful for the
landlord or his agent, within the space of thirty days next after the removal
of those goods, to take and seize them wherever they are found as a distress
for the said rent, and to sell and dispose of them in like manner as if they
had actually been distrained by the landlord in and upon such premises for
such rent; but no landlord shall seize or take any such goods which, before
such seizure, have been sold bona fide and for a valuable consideration to any
person not privy to the fraud or clandestine removal.
