Section 7 Power to require certificate, &c. before representation.C1

In the case, nevertheless, of a seaman or marine, the Admiralty shall not be bound to pay the residue (whatever be its amount) to the representative of the deceased, if representation has been taken out either by a creditor as such, or by any person without such certificate respecting the title to representation having been first obtained from the Admiralty, or such other regulations or conditions having been duly observed or performed, as is or are prescribed by Order in Council; and in any such case the Admiralty shall dispose of the residue in pursuance of this Act as if representation had not been taken out.
