2. In all cases where probate or letters of adminis- tration are granted during the war to any person entitled thereto the grant shall be made upon the condition that no portion of the assets shall be distributed or paid during the war to any beneficiary or creditor who is an enemy, or to anyone on his behalf, without the express sanction of the Governor; and if any distribution or payment is made contrary to this condition the grant of probate or letters of adminis- tration will be forthwith revoked.

3. Any applicant for probate or letters of administration during the war shall give such information as the Registrar may require in order to ascertain whether any of the assets would in time of peace be distributable or payable to any enemy, and if required shall make a statutory declaration as to the assets and their disposition in the event of probate or letters of administration being granted.

4. Upon an application to the Crown Solicitor there will be no difficulty in proper cases in obtaining the sanction of the Governor to the payment of a moderate sum out of assets to beneficiaries or creditors who are enemy subjects resident in this Colony at the commencement of the war and during the war.
