TO THE ELECTORS OF THE Elast Coast District. ENTLEMEN, —Actuated by an earnest VT desire to serve you in Parliament, and to promote the welfare of the district, I have determined to offer myself as a Candidate for your suffrages at the next Election. I am Gentleman, Faithfully Yours—• T. W. PORTER, Gisborne, 30th August, 1881. 415 The Public Trust Office. Guabanteed by the State. ALTHOUGH this Office has been in existence for a period of more than seven years, it is believed that the objects for which it was established 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, moneys to be invested for the benefit of Minors, moneys bequeathed for charitable objects, moneys the title to which is in dispute, or whose legal owner is unknown or cannot be found, &c., &c. 2. 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 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 harassing litigation. 3 - The administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to incu r the responsibility of administration, or ca nno t from any cause obtain the neeessary po wer B to act. In such cases it is the duty of th e Public Trustee to discharge all legal debts far as the assets extend, and divide the residue amongst the next of kin. 4. The administration of the estates of lunatics, lunatic patients, and convicts. 5. The charge of all 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. The cost of administering estates is very email. Information may be obtained from all agents. R. C. HAMERTON, 270 Public Trustee.
