If the case proposed should be so totally defective, either in manner, or matter, as to render it impossible to propose amendments, other- than by writing it anew, it would seem that the rule could not apply. The great object is, to present the case fairly to the court; and nq rule can exist, calculated to defeat that Object. Besides, a reference to the .case just cited, will justify the inference, that the rule is intended merely for the convenience of the judge, and to save- him the necessity of wading through two cases instead of one. This view has been taken of it, in several case, within my knowledge ; and in one cases, in particular, a feigned issue, Judge Edwards received amendments, proposed in this way on, account of the inaccuracy of the original case, and adopted them as the basis of the qase.
