definition, "(NOUN) something left in charge"

JadariteI am familiar with people being in charge, but I haven't seen "something" in charge before. Has anyone seen this definition used (any context)? (I'll post more on this after a few replies)

Better to post more now, if we are to help. "something" sounds odd, right off hand.

Well, the context they are trying to give in the book can be illustrated in the following 2 sentences:

A. Please look after this money.
B. We looked after the neighbor's dog for a while.

Additional definitions which fit better in my opinion are "to (keep, hold, look after (for soneone))"

I wasn't sure if "something in charge" was British or Australian English. I am

Perhaps you may be thinking of something like 'He asked me to take the money in(to) my charge', meaning into my care, into my custody. This expression today sounds pretty archaic. You won't often hear it.
