The administration of the wills o persons who by appointing the Public Trustee as their executor secure the guarantee of the State for the due fulfil, ment of their wishes, and to avoid'the risk consequent on the appointment f private persons as executors, who not unfrequently, though earnestly desirous of acting for the benefit of parties interested, fail to carry out legally ther objects' for which they were appointed, arid'cbnsoquently involve themselves arid those whose interests they are striving to pro* tect in costly and harassing litigation. 3. The administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wishto incur the responsibility of adiriinistratiori, or cannot from any cause obtain the neces* sary to act.
