payment of all rents and charges and for the observance of all covenants and conditions in respect of the said land. Every instrument relating to land held by a clan, family or t'ong which is executed or signed by the registered manager thereof in the presence of the Land Officer and is attested by him, shall be as effectual for all purposes as if it had been executed or signed by all the members of the said clan, family or t'ong. The Land Officer may on good cause shown cancel the appointment of any manager and select and register a new manager in his place. If the members of any clan, family or t'ong holding land shall not within 3 months after the acquisition of the land make and prove the appointment of a manager, or within 3 months after any change of manager prove the appointment of a new manager, it shall be lawful for the Crown to re-enter upon the land held by such clan, family or t'ong, which shall thereupon become forfeited. Such re-entry shall be effected by the registration of a memorandum thereof in the appropriate office.

Any clan, family or t'ong owning land at the commencement of this Ordinance in respect of which a manager shall have been duly registered under this Ordinance, shall not, so long as such land is certified by the Land Officer as being used for agricultural, religious, educational, or charitable purposes, or such other uses of a similar nature as are recognised by established local custom, or for dwelling houses occupied by bona fide members of the clan, family or t'ong, be required to be registered under the Companies Ordinance, although such clan, family or t'ong may consist of more than 20 members.
29. In the event of the death of any person in whose name any land is registered otherwise than as a manager, if no grant of probate or administration of the estate of the deceased is made by the Supreme Court within 3 months after such death, the Land Officer, on ascertaining the name of the person who is entitled to such land in succession to the deceased person (hereinafter described as "successor"), shall register the name of the successor, and upon registration being effected the said land shall vest in the successor for all the estate and interest of the deceased person therein, or for such estate and interest as shall be entered on the register by the Land Officer against the entry of the name of the successor. On the registration of a successor the fees fixed by regulations shall be paid.
