(After stating the foregoing facts.)
When the common-law form of ejectment is adopted, the plaintiff' may lay as many demises as he pleases; and if he show title under any one of them, he may recover. He may also add new demises by way of amendment at any time when it is necessary to maintain his suit. When the plaintiff does not adopt the common-law form of ejectment, he is required to attach to his petition an abstract of the title relied on. This abstract is treated, for many purposes, as containing what would be the demises under the common-law form. ^ It may be amended by adding different and other muniments of title under which the plaintiff claims. Willis v. Meadors, 64 Ga. 721. The general rule is that there can be no recovery unless the plaintiff has a complete cause of action at the time the suit is filed. A cause of action accruing pending the suit will not entitle the plaintiff to recover. Baker v. Tillman, 84 Ga. 402; Wad
