(b) Forfeiture on conviction for treason. Where personal property is
forfeited to the state upon a conviction of outlawry for treason, the
attorney-general shall commence an action to recover the property or its
value.
(c) Forfeiture of recognizance. Where the condition of a recognizance
is broken, the recognizance is wholly forfeited by an order of the court
directing its prosecution. Where a recognizance to the state is
forfeited, it is not necessary to allege or prove any damages.
