Treasurer

Enclosure 2.

Opinion of the Acting Attorney General.

The sums mentioned in the Treasurer's letter of the 26th February last have been paid into the Treasury by the Registrar of the Supreme Court.

They are composed of:

1. The balances of small intestate Estates, chiefly Chinese passengers, who died on the passage from Singapore. In many cases no administration has not been given.

2. Unclaimed dividends of the passenger Estates.

3. Indivisible balances either intestate or Bankrupt Estates. When the Registrar has done all he can to wind up estates administered by him, and hand over to the parties entitled thereto, he pays into the Treasury all balances not claimed.

The Treasurer received them as the Registrar's banker. These sums are too small to be invested separately; they are not invested but are included
