The ll?isatioo over the commission
So, OOO. OOO, of bonds i-su*d by the
Stare of Soir h Carolina in tS9o was
fuullv disposed of by ar? op;yi>a Sie:
in rh-1 Circuif C ?urt of Baltimore
yesterday by Judge Danni-*, un?
less an appeal \< taken and the de ci si .n
reversed.
Phases of the controversy have oren
before the four' for two years
C dden ubini, of Augusta. Ga., was
a:-, pointed by Sour ii Carotina HS rs
agent to/begctiate the sale ot the h-md.
f:r a commis-ion. of I.1 ner cent.,
am/unting to ?7$.50O. ile applied to
R. ? Lancaster, of New York, to as
is: him in making the sale, agreeing to
give Mr. Lancaster one-third of the
Immission. Mr. Lancaster then form
.:d a syndicate, consisting of Neu- York
and Baltimore blakers, to buy tho
Solids.
When the syndicate was organized
Mr. Lancaster, it. was alleged, rep?
resented all it? members that he had
SO interest in the commission : that he
stood on the some footing with the
others, and that the whole commission
r>eut to Mr. Rhind. When the bonds
were about to be paid for the syndicate
discovered that Mr. Lancaster had an
interest of one third iu the commis
si cm.
Concealment of Mr Lancaster's in?
terest, the syndicate contended, ren?
dered the whole contract for the pay
ment of com mission void, and th oj
protested against the payment of if to
either Mr. Lancaster or Mr. Rhind.
liefere protest was proDerly served Mr
Lancaster h id secured his share of the
commission, amounting to ^?0,000
Then the syndicate con tended tha? he
should bi? made to re-fund what he had
received and that Mr. Khind was not
entitled to the share provided for him.
About a year a20 a decree was
. :;*"rei by Judge Wicke- dismissing
Mr Lancaster from the suit on the
ground thar .Mr. Lancasters liability
could not be tested in the suit as insti?
tuted. The emtrovesy then continued
ss to Rhino's rights to his portion and
Judge Dennis' decision yestv-rdav
awarded fho balance of the fund to Mr
Rhind.
The Baltimore bankers composing
the syndicate are represented >n the
litigation by Archibald ii gaylor,
Fisher, Bruce & Fisher and Marshal!,
Marbury & Bowdoin. Messrs. Lancas
ter and Khind are rep-resented by Ma;,
.lichard M. Venable and Mdwin <.!.
