Definition,
(2) Provided that the Court shall, before sealing a pro- bate or letters of administration under this section, be satisfied-

(b) in the case of letters of administration, that se- curity has been given in a sum sufficient in amount to cover the property (if any) in the Colony to which the letters of administration relate; and may require such evidence, if any, as it thinks fit as to the domicile of the deceased
person.
(3) The Court may also, if it thinks fit, on the applica- tion of any creditor, require, before sealing, that adequate security be given for the payment of debts due from the estate to creditors residing in the Colony.

This Ordinance shall apply to probates and letters of administration granted in the United Kingdom either before or after the passing of this Ordinance.
