Powers and duties of committee where preferential charges are not paid.

charges are not paid or secured to their satisfaction, the committee shall
proceed to pay those charges.

(2) If the death occurs out of the United Kingdom, the committee of

the personal property of the deceased in the regulation area.

(3) The committee, save as may be prescribed, shall, for the purpose of paying

convert into money such of the personal property of the deceased as does not

been given by the legal personal representative of the deceased.

(6) The committee of adjustment shall lodge the surplus remaining in their
hands after payment of the said charges and expenses and debts with such
person (in this Act referred to as the paymaster), at such times, in such
