The objections of Clara A. Larkin
to the first and only report of John

erty belonging to said estate is over
ruled for the reason that it does not
appear that John Brannigan, as guard
ian, had any money in his hands be-
longing to said ward WITH which to pay
said taxes. The guardian is directed to
produce and file with the clerk of this
court voucher showing the expendit-
ure by him of the sum of $35. alleged to
have been paid to Joseph Carter. In
accordance with the request contained
in said final report, the administrator of

the court allowed to said Branngan for

sci fees incurred in his administration
