When the owner of any land which has been resumed is absent from the Colony or cannot be found, or within 6 months from the date when the amount of compensation shall have been determined makes no claim to the same, or is in the opinion of the Governor unable to give an effectual discharge for the same, the Governor may direct payment of the compensation to be made to such other person on behalf of the owner as he shall think proper, subject to such conditions as he thinks fit, and the receipt of such person shall be a valid and effectual discharge for the same in the same manner as if payment had been made to the owner.
