To take charge of all kinds of money bonds such as Marriage settlements, moneys to be invested for the benefit of j Minor*, moneys bequeathed for charitable objects, moneys, the title to which is m dispute, or whose legal owner is unknown, or cannot be found, &c;, &. 2. To administer the wills of all persons, who by appointing the Public Trustee as their executor secure the guarantee of the State for the due fu ! filme-nt of their wishes and avoid the risk consequent on the appointment of private persons as ext cutbrs, 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, aad consequently iuvolve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to protect m costly aad harassing litigation. 3. To take one administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to incure 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 the assets extend, and divide the residue amongst the next of kin. 4. To take charge of, and grant lease 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.
