The administration of 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 whioh no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to incur the responsibility of administration, or cannot from any cause obtain tho necessary powers to act. In such cases it is the duty of the Public Trustee to discharge all logal debts bo far as the assets extend, and divide tho residue amongst the next of kin. 4.

The charge of lands lying waste and unoccupied of which the owner is unknown, or who has been absent from the colony for ten years, having left no known agent.
