§ Clause 167:
§ Administration bonds.
§ 167.—(1) Every person to whom a grant of administration is made shall give a bond (in this section referred to "an administration bond") to the senior registrar of the Pro-bate Division by the name of "the principal probate registrar," and, subject to the provisions of this section, if the principal probate registrar, or, where the grant was mace in a district registry, the district probate registrar, so requires, with one or more sureties conditioned for duly collecting, getting in and administering the real and per-oral estate of the deceased.
§ (6) Nothing in this section shall require the Solicitor for the affairs of His Majesty's Treasury, when applying for or obtaining administration for the use or benefit of His Majesty, to give an administration bond.
§ LORD MUIR MACKENZIE moved, in subsection (6), after "Treasury" to insert "or the Solicitor for the affairs of the Duchy of Lancaster." The noble Lord said: My Lords, the words of this Amendment were omitted by an oversight from one of the Acts which were consolidated with the Supreme Court of Judicature Bill. It is perfectly obvious that those words must be restored, and I beg to move accordingly.
