delivered the opinion of the court.
The plaintiff took a nonsuit upon the court’s refusing to allow them leave to amend the statement of their cause of action. We think the original courts can hardly be too liberal in allowing amendments where the error is unintentional, and no injury will result to the adverse party. This, however, is pretty much a matter of discretion, and we do not interfere in such cases, unless there be a palpable abuse of it. We can not say that was so here, and therefore shall not disturb the judgment.
