They decided to establish the Public Trust Office because they were firmly convinced by hard Cdld facts that Such an institution was necessary for the safeguarding Of private estates. As far back as the year 1870 Sir Julius Vogel referred to “innumerable cases'' Of minors whose inheritance had been largely wasted or utterly lost by the mistakes, or the unwise speculation of trustees.
