3.12.46

bāliśajātīyo vā rātrau rājadāyikākṣaṇabhītaḥ sāram asya haste nikṣipyāpagacchet //

A childish man with a sealed deposit with some secret mark may, while going through a street at night, feel frightened at his being captured by the police for untimely walking, and, placing the deposit in the custody of a man, go on his way. But subsequently put into the jail, he may ask for it. If the depositary dishonestly denies, he shall not only be made to restore it, but be liable to the punishment for theft.
