A Lunatic's Property to be Sold.

New York, 1895

The affairs of Mary A. Johnson, of Jamaica, who a few months ago was judicially declared a lunatic, and a committee of her person and estate appointed, are in a somewhat confused state, and in order to better their condition her committee, John O'Donnell, of Jamaica, on Monday made application to Judge Cullen for an order to dispose of two pieces of property which she owns, a house in Fulton street, corner of Division street, and another in Washington street. Judge Cullen granted the order, with the provision that the Fulton street property shall not be sold for less than $4,000, and that in Washington street for not less than $1,500.
