Provided also, that where on an application under this Act the concurrence or consent of any such person as aforesaid shall not have been obtained and in case it shall be uncertain whether he be living or dead, or in case it shall appear to the court that such notice as aforesaid cannot be given to such person without expense disproportionate to the value of the subject matter of the application, then, and in any such case, the court, either on the ground of the rights or interests of such person being small or remote, or being similar to the rights or interest of any other person or persons, or on any other grounds, may by order dispense with notice to such person, and such person shall thereupon be deemed to have submitted his rights and interests to be dealt with by the court.
