Trouble Over the First Account.
There are prospects of being lively times
ovec the matter Of settling up the estate
of the late Mary A. Foley of Berkeley.
Mrs. Bridget Powers, wife of John Pow
ers of Prospect Hill, has, through her at
torney, p. j. Mccarthy of Providence,
filed with Charles F. Easton, probate clerk,
an appeal against the allowing Of the first
account of Patrick E. Ryan, administrator
Of the estate of Mary A. Foley, late Of
Berkeley. The account was presented on
Jan. % to the court and continued with
order Of notice. On Feb. q 1t again came
before the court, and as the vouchers were
in accordance with the charges made the
account was allowed by Judge Learned,
there being no objection offered to such
action at that time.
Mrs. Powers, who Is sister of the de-
ceased and of Mr.. Ryan, asks that a jury
trial be given to her appeal. The forty
days allowed by law for making an appeal
had almost expired when 1t was filed. Mr..
Ryan Is much annoyed at the appeal being
made and is anxious that his account
should be published 30 that the public
would see that the charges made were fair
and reasonable.
1t is probable that there may be other
cases arising out of this estate.
