22. [Recital.] Whenever any dispute between any pawnbroker and any borrower, touching or concerning any pawn or pledge, shall be determined by the said divisional justices or any two of them, and any sum of money shall be awarded to be paid, it shall be lawful, in case of non-payment of any such sum of money, for such divisional justices making such determination, by warrant under their hands and seals, to cause the amount of any sum of money so awarded to be paid to be levied by distress and sale of the goods and chattels of the persons who shall be ordered to pay the same; and for want of sufficient goods to satisfy such sum, it shall be lawful for such divisional justices, by like warrant, to commit the person against whom any such order or award shall be made to any house of correction within the said police district, for any period not exceeding one calendar month, or until such sum shall be sooner paid and satisfied.
