INCREASE FOR N0RTHC0TE
Committee Thinks $1,000 In.
sufficient for Incompetent.

Bernard Francis Rollo. OF London, conf
mittee of the property Of Hugh Hamilton
Stafford Northcote. grandson OF the late
Hamilton Fish. asked permission In the
Supreme Court yesterday to use some OF
tho income from tho New York prop
erty OF Northcote, who Is an incompetent
and in a sanatorium, to pay Northcotos
expenses In London, the property IN Eng
land not yielding a sufficient amount.
Northcote is a nephew OF the Earl OF
Iddeslelgh. His father was Hugh oliver
Northcote and his mother Mrs. Edith LAv-
ingston Northcote. a daughter OF the late
Hamilton Fish. Ho has an interest In
a sIs0. 900 trust fund left by Mr.. Fish and
an interest In q trust fund Of $fo6,000 left
By his father. His personal property In
the United States Is valued at 100000. and
that I'm England at $4,000. The annual
income here Is SIS. 100 and in England only
$500.
This latter amount, Mr.. Rollo said. was
inadequate to support Northcote in the
style that h. had always enjoyed and
which his wealth entities him to. The
English High Court has fixed the annual
allowance for the incompetent at $4,000.
and the allowance for this year has been
overdrawn $4,000. The committee asks
this amount from the income Of the
American property.
