Rules, 1953, made under Section 64 of the Trustee Ordinance, provide that where an official of the Court is appointed Judicial Trustee, the Registrar General shall be so appointed unless for special reasons the Court directs that some other öfficial of the Court be appointed.
Administration of Trusts
130. Although no new trusts were transferred to the Official Trustee during the year the number administered rose from ten to seventeen owing to an order of the Court allocating the credit balance on the Official Trustee's pre-war bank account among the various trusts admin- istered immediately prior to the outbreak of the war. This meant that sums were allocated to seven trusts which had previously been closed, so that these seven trusts came once again on the Official Trustee's books.
131. The Registrar General continued to act as Judicial Trustee of one estate on behalf of which $8,969 was held on current account at the close of the year.
Trust Funds
132. Table XXIV sets out the Official Trustee's receipts and payments for the year, and the assets and liabilities of the trusts administered by him as at 31st March 1964. The total income of the trusts, being interest and dividends on investments, fixed deposits and bank accounts, amounted to $7,553. Payments to beneficiaries totalled $2,629 (including $503 on capital account), and the Official Trustee's commission amounted to $151.08. At the end of the year the total funds administered by the Official Trustee amounted to $212,000, of which $60,234 was held on income account, representing for the most part accumulations of income held pending the clarification of the position with respect to the seven charitable
trusts.
