Cash representing proceeds of debentures and interest ... ... ... ... ... £ s. d. 65 0 0 Nine “ A ” preference shares in New Zealand Theatres, Limited, value ... ... ... ... 5 0 0 70 0 0

And whereas New Zealand Theatres, Limited, in 1930 issued bearer debentures for fifty pounds (£50) with interest coupons attached, to some person, but the said company has no record of the name or address of the said person: And whereas by an order of the Court of Review dated the 19th day of December, 1938, the liabilities of the said company were adjusted, and as a result the debenture-holders became entitled to receive part of the value of their bearer debentures in registered perpetual debenture stock and the balance in "A" preference shares: And whereas the said unknown holder of £50 bearer debentures did not, in response to the advertisements published by the said company at that time, surrender his debentures in return for debenture stock and "A" preference shares or make any claim against the company: And whereas on the 3rd day of November, 1946, the said company redeemed the debenture stock by paying off all debenture stock holders with interest to that date, and as a result the sum of £65 is payable to the said unknown debenture-holder entitled to the said debenture stock: And whereas it is not known who is the owner of the above-mentioned sum of £65 or the nine "A" preference shares in New Zealand Theatres, Limited: And whereas it is provided by Part III of the Public Trust Office Act, 1908 (relating to unclaimed property), as amended by section 41 of the Public Trust Office Amendment Act, 1921–22, that where the value of unclaimed real and personal property does not exceed £1,000 the Public Trustee (with the consent of the Public Trust Office Board) may, by notice in the Gazette, declare his intention to take possession of such property and exercise the powers conferred upon him by section 87 of the Public Trust Office Act, 1908, without application to the Court: And whereas the said consent of the Public Trust Office Board has been duly given:

Now, the Public Trustee hereby gives notice that he intends to take possession of the above-mentioned property and to exercise in respect thereof the powers conferred upon him in and by the provisions of the Public Trust Office Act, 1908.

Dated at Wellington, the 19th day of November, 1948.
