A LTHOTJG-H this office has been in existence for J\. a period of more than seven years, it is believed that the objects for which it was estaHished 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 for the benefit of Minors, moneys bequeathed for charitable objects, monej s the title to which is in dispute, or whose legal owner is unknown or cannot be found, etc., etc. 2. The administration of the wills of persons who by appointing the Public Trustee aa their executor secure the eruaranteo of the State for the due fulfil- i ment of their wishes, and avoid the risk consequsnt 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 divido 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 unocoupied ; of which the owner is unknown, or who has been ab- 1 sent 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.
