Administrative Law - public officers - Curator of Intestate Estates -
not agent of Crown but only a type of ordinary administrator - payment
of commission and fees into general revenue not evidence of agency for
Crown: The Curator of Intestate Estates is merely an administrator,
whose rights and duties are governed by the laws applicable to administrators
of intestate estates, and not a representative of the Government;
and the fact that he takes a commission and fees on all money collected
by him and pays them into the general revenue of the country is an
incidental duty which does not clothe him with the rights and immunities
of an agent of the Crown.
