TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
No New Trial for the Attorneys Suing
for Legal Fees.

Judge Van Dyke yesterday handed
down an opinion in which he denied the
motion for a new trial in the suit of
r. H. knight and G. E. Harpham vs..
Rosa Whitmore, an action to recover
a certain sum alleged to be due for at
torneys' fees.
On trial of the cause the plaintiffs
were awarded a verdict of $500, and to
the judgment then entered the plain
tiffs took exception on several grounds,
but the only one requiring consideration
Judge Van Dyke has held to be that Of
alleged surprise.
The main contention was that plain
tiffs were not aware that the defendan mt
would testify that she consulted c. NJ
Simpson in relation to the affairs of
the estate of G. f. Foster, and were
wholly surprised by her testimony il
that regard, and We're not aware that
Simpson would testify that he had not
been consulted in relation to the affairs
of that estate by the defendant until af-
ter the trial of the action, etc.
1T is alleged in the complaint" Gays
the court, that between April /. 1895
and June t. 1896 the plaintiffs as part
ners performed certain legal services
for the defendant of the value of $1,000
The answer denies that Knight and
ftdrpndm were partners, ara AYERS tnal
the firm consisted of Knight Simpson
6c Harpham, and further denies that be-
tween any periods the plaintiffs per-
formed legal services under the firm
name OF Knight & Harpham. 1t is all
legged. however. that some time in De-
cember, 1893 G. +. Foster, defendants S
father. died, leaving an estate; that
thereafter the defendant employed the
firm of Knight K Simpson to assist her
in the administration of said estate,
and that afterward the plaintiff, G.. T..
Harpham, became member of said
firm; that in the management of the
business Of said Foster estate. said firm
of knight. Simpson & Harpham made
a mistake in procuring the appointment
of TIE defendant as administra triX with
out haVirg filed any petition in her be-
half or given notice of the application;
that the estate ran along in that condi-
tion until the time had nearly arrived
for settlement and distribution when
the mistake was discovered; that she
the defendant, complained of the ex-
pense, trouble and annoyance to which
the estate had been put, and the con-
fusion likely to arise as to the title
TO the property, and had notified the
firm that she desired to take her busi-
ness from them; that thereupon they
| requested her not to do so, and. in con-
| sideration of her agreeing to have il
continued by them, written agreement
| was entered into"
