Where a concubine has renounced rights and has affirmed dissolution of the union and where Tsing customary law (part of local law) allows viva voce/affirmation proof of dissolution, the Probate Master erred in maintaining requisitions requiring further proof or in treating the matter as unresolved; Letters of Administration should issue and costs awarded on an indemnity basis payable from the estate.
