A CLERICAL ERROR
Cuts an Important Figure in Million
Dollar Suit.

New York, Nov. 2O.-Justice Scott is
hearing arguments on an application
for leave to amend the answer to a
complaint in a suit brought by ThurlOw
Weed Barnes to establish his alleged
partnership in the American China De-
VelOpment company, commonly known
as the Brice syndicate
The application for leave to amend
was due to an error Of counsel for the
Brice syndicate, in preparing his an
swer to a suit brought by Mr.. Barnes
in 1898, to recover 81, 900 900 from the
syndicate as his share of the profits in
the partnership. In the original suit
Mr.. Barnes cOntended that he was a.
member of the first syndicate. The
other side admitted this, but held that
Mr.. Barnes was not a member of the
second and larger syndicate.
In the application for leave to amend
their answer, counsel for the syndicate
averred that through a clerical error
an admission had been made in their
answer that Mr.. Barnes was a member
of the second syndicate. This admis-
sion, Mr.. Barnes, through his attorney,
made use of in a suit for an account
ing, brought substantially to the action
to recover $1,000, 600. The respondents
the ground that the complaint was bas-
ed on an error. In the second action
Mr.. Barnes sues for the recovery of
money alleged to be due him from the
syndicate in securing certain railroad
concessions from the Chinese govern
ment, through the Chinese minister in
Washington.
Justice Scott has not yet made a de-
ciSiOn in the case.
