To administer the wills of all persons who by t 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 I desirous of acting for the benefit of parties interested, fail to carry out legall\ r the objects for which they were appointed, and consequently, involve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to protect m costly and harassing litigation. :■•• • 3. To take one administration of all estates of which no disposition has 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.
