6Dividends in case of infancy, &c. of a joint stockholder
Where colonial stock to which this Act applies is standing in the name of an infant or person of unsound mind jointly with any person not under legal disability, a letter of attorney for the receipt of the dividends on the stock shall be sufficient authority in that behalf, if given under the hand and seal of the person not under disability, and attested.
The registrar, before acting on the letter of attorney, may require proof to his satisfaction of the alleged infancy or unsoundness of mind, by the declaration of competent persons made under the [5 & 6 Will. 4. c. 62.] Statutory Declarations Act, 1835, or in such other manner as he may reasonably require.
