A LTHOUGH this office has been in existence for _f\. a period of more than seven years, it is believed that the objects for which it was established are not sufficiently known or understood. It is desired to set forth in a concise form information respecting the business which this office undertakes: 1. The charge of all kinds of money trusts, such as Marriage Settlements, monies to be invested fpr the benefit of Minors, moneys bequeathed for chaiitable objects, moneys the title to which Iβ in dispute, or whose legal owner is unknown or cannot be found, etc., etc. 2. The administration ot the wills of persons who by appointing the Public Trustee as their executor secure the guarantee of the State for the due fulfilment of their wishes, and avoid the risk consequent on the appointment of private persons as executors, who not unfrequently, though earnestly desirous of acting for the benefit of the parties interested, fail to carry out legally the objects for which they were appointed, and consequently involve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to protect in costly and harrassing litigation. 3. The administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to incur the responsibility of administration, or cannot from any cause obtain the necessary powers to act. In such cases it is the duty of the Public Trustee to discharge all legal debts so far as the assets extend, and divide the residue amongst the next of kin, 4. The administration of the estates of lunatics, lunatic patients, and convicts. 6. The charge of lands lying waste and unoccupied of which the owner is unknown, or who has been abBent from the colony for ten years, having left no known agent. The cost of administering estates Is very small. Information may be obtained from all agents.— R. C. HAMERTON, Public Trustee. Borough Notices.
