1 Paige Ch. 424 | New York Court of Chancery | 1829
The Chancellor :—The complainants apply to amend an injunction bill after answer, on the ground that exceptions to the answer have been allowed. No affidavit of the truth *of the charges contained in the proposed amendments, or excuse for not inserting them in the original bill, is furnished. The 15th rule of this court, authorizing the complainant to amend his bill of course, and without costs, on exceptions allowed to the answer, does not apply to an injunction bill, or to any other which has been sworn to by the party. Such was the construction given to the 11th rule, in Parker & Bliss v. Grant, (1 John. Ch. Rep. 434.) And in Beekman v. Waters, (3 John. Ch. Rep. 410,) where the defendant had submitted to answer exceptions, although an amendment was allowed on the particular facts sworn to in the petition, Chancellor Kent declared, that if the amendments required a new or further answer, they ought to be allowed only upon payment of costs.
A loose kind of practice in relation to amending injunction bills has crept into this court, which I am satisfied
The application being defective in nearly all of these respects must be refused with costs.
