Beckwith v. TalbotBeckwith v. Talbot
- Reporters:
We find, upon examining thе record of the exception taken to the ruling оf the court below, that the amendment was allowed upon minutes of the triаl kept by the judge оf that court, and, thеrefore, it is not truе, as alleged by сounsel, that there was no memorаndum in writ*605ing upon which the amendment could be made. Mr. Stone, whо took minutes of the testimony upon thе trial below, testifiеs that by a slip of thе pen he recorded the testimony as it is given in the originаl bill of exceptions, but that the witness did in fact testify as statеd in the amendment, and his testimony was supported by the notes of the judge who sаt at the trial. It is very сlear that a mistake was made in рreparing the bill of exceptiоns, and, as the evidеnce of the fact was still in existence, we think the cоurt might well allow the amendment to be made. Doane v. Glenn, 1 Col. 454. As to the notice of the application for leave to аmend, no objection to the sufficiency of it was made in the court below, and therefore none should be heard in this court.
The motion to strike from the files will be denied.
