173674E (1944-06-26)

Indenture 173674E appears to be a legal justification or explanation for the seizure by the Custodian of the property of Masato Hayami. The document states that Masato Hayami was a purchaser in an agreement of sale between himself and Agnes McIntyre on 1937-04-16 for the properties described as L 13 and L14 of the W 1/2 of S 20, T 12, PL 1161. Because of his Japanese descent (police registration # 13854), the document states that Hayami's property is subject to seizure by the Custodian under Order-in-Council 1665 of 1942. The document also states that the Custodian received an affidavit from Francis Burnard McLellan, Notary Public, stating that the conveyance of the property was successfully delivered to Masato Hayami on 1941-05-12, and that the Custodian had subsequently been unable to obtain this conveyance. As such, the rest of the transfer document states the Custodian's request to have the title of the property transferred into "The Secretary of State of Canada acting in his capacity as Custodian under the Revised Regulations Respecting Trading with the Enemy. (1943)"
