Distribution of sums not exceeding fifty pounds.

(4.) If any member of a society or registered branch, entitled from the funds thereof to a sum not exceeding fifty pounds, dies intestate and without having made any nomination under this Act which remains unrevoked at his death, such sum shall be payable, without letters of administration, to the person who appears to a majority of the trustees, upon such evidence as they may deem satisfactory, to be entitled by law to receive the same.
