518. In all cases where restitution or reparation is adjudged to be
made to the party injured and immediate restitution or reparation is-
not fully made, the court before whom the offender is convicted shall,
at the instance of the party injured, issue execution against the property
of such convicted person in the name of the person injured for the value
of the property taken, or so much thereof as is not restored, such value
to be estimated by the said court; but nothing herein contained shall be
construed to deprive the party injured from having and maintaining
a civil action against such offender, either before or after conviction, or
against any other person, for the recovery of the money received or
property taken, or the value thereof.

Where money and bonds have been stolen by A from B, B's remedy is in
a civil action under this section, and not by a bill in equity. Fletcher v.

520. The courts may suspend sentence generally or for a definite
time, and may make such orders and impose such terms as to costs, rec-
ognizance for appearance, or matters relating to the residence or con-
duct of the convicts as may be deemed proper; and if the convict is a
minor, the courts may also make such orders as to his detention in any
care or custody as may be deemed proper.

521. In all cases where the law prescribing a punishment for crime
fixes a maximum and a minimum penalty therefor, the judge of the
Criminal Court of Baltimore and the several judges of the Circuit
Courts of the counties may, in lieu of the minimum penalty so pre-
scribed, impose a less penalty of the same character; provided, however,
that nothing herein contained shall be construed as affecting any maxi-
mum penalty fixed by law, or the punishment for any crime where the
law provides one and only one penalty.
