NAVY AND MARINES (PROPERTY OF DECEASED) ACT 1865 - SECT 8

Disposal of residue not exceeding #1,500, where representation is not taken out.

8. Where the residue does not exceed [#1,500], and representation is not taken
out, then, subject to the other provisions of this Act, the Admiralty shall,
as soon as may be, dispose of the residue as follows:

(1)They shall, if they think fit, pay the residue to any person showing
herself or himself to their satisfaction to be entitled to take out
representation to the deceased (otherwise than as a creditor)to the end that
the residue may be applied by the person to whom it is so paid in a due course
of administration; and the same shall be so applied accordingly (for which
application the Admiralty may require such security as they think fit):

(2)Or else the Admiralty shall, if they think fit, pay to the persons (if any)
beneficially interested in the residue their respective shares thereof:

(3)And in cases where the foregoing provisions of the present section do not
apply, and the amount of the residue appears to the Admiralty insufficient to
cover the expense of representation, the Admiralty shall dispose of the
residue in manner prescribed by Order in Council.
