To take charge of all kinds of money bonds such as Marriage settlements, moneys to be invested for the benefit of 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. Toadminister the wills of all 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 unfrequeutly, 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 wbose interests thevare striving to protect m costly and harassing litigation. 3. To take out administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to iucure the responsibility of administration, or cannflt from any cause obtain the necessary powers to act.
