Case No. 9,826.
    MORRIS v. BARNEY.
    [1 Cranch. C. C. 245.] 
    
    Circuit Court, District of Columbia.
    July Term, 1805.
    Pleading at Law — Amendment — Making New Parties.
    The court will not permit an amendment making new parties.
    Assumpsit by indorsees against the maker of a promissory note.
    Mr. Caldwell, for plaintiff, moved to amend by adding the name of the payee of the note as plaintiff, for the use of Morris. This was done to avoid the allegation of the defendant that the words “or order” had been inserted by the payee after the note was made.
    
      
       [Reported by Hon. William Crauch, Chief Judge.]
    
   Refused by

THE COURT;

it being to make new parties.
