MEATH.
In the Probate Court, Dublin. On
Nov. 30th, before. Judge Warren, the
case of the heirs Of the late Patrick
Clarke came up. on an application, that
letters of administration of the person
al estate of Patrick Clark, late Of NAL
binstown, county Meath, farmer, who
died intestate Oh Nov. 81, should be
granted to Mrs. Michael Rogers, a
niece of the interstate. The intestate
left, besides Mrs. Rogers, a sister who
was now in Sheffield, but who had re-
nounced her right to administration in
favor Of Mrs. Rogers. Counsel moved
on an affidavit showing that the intes-
tate was possessed of several farms and
considerable quantity Of live stock. in
addition to some ready money, and that
on the day of his death cattle had been
removed from the farm by John Gore,
nephew of the deceased. Counsel
contended that this conduct disentitled
John Gore to q grant Of administration.
Mr.. Philip White appeared for John
Gore, and asked for an adjournment Of
the case to enable MIN to file an at1idav"
it explaining the circumstances under
which the cattle were removed, this be-
ing done he said, for the purpose of
"dressing'' the cattle. The Court de.
clined to grant the adjournment, and
as Mrs. Rogers represented tWo-thirds
of the deceased's estate, granted the
letters OF administration as sought for.
