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 fulfilment 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 the objects for which they were appointed, and conseO ri queflfly involve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to proin costly and harassing litigation. 3. The administration of all estates|of which no disposition has been made bj will, whenever relatives do not wish to incur the responsibility of administration, or cannot from any cause obtain the necessary powers to act.
