From The Cork Examiner, 1 June 1863 -

COURT OF CHANCERY--SATURDAY.

Exparte Power, re Power.--Mr. J. B. Murphy opened
the petition in this matter on behalf of the committee of the
lunatic, that the maintenance allowance should be increased
from £2,400 to £2,800 per annum. The net rental of the
estate of the lunatic amounted to £2,900, after the payment of
the maintenance allowance, and the ground on which the
petition was presented was that the increased allowance was
necessary, and as consequential on placing the next-of-kin of
the lunatic in suitable positions in life, &c. The lunatic, who
resides in the county of Waterford, has six children, and is
about 80 years of age.
The Lord Chancellor directed that he should be furnished
with a schedule of the payments made from time to time to the
lunatic's relations out of his property, and how these payments
were allocated at present ; and that he would look over the
matter in chamber.
