When money or other property is taken from a defendant arrested upon a charge of public offense, the officer taking it must at the time give duplicate receipts therefor, specifying particularly the amount of money or the kind of property taken. One of which receipts he must deliver to the defendant, and the other of which he must file with the clerk of the court to which the depositions and statement must be sent, as provided in the last section of the chapter on preliminary examination, 6641.
