This general law in regard to amendments pervades our •entire system of jurisprudence, and will be applied to all appeal papers where the party in good faith enters an appeal though irregularly, and no .harm has resulted to the -other party. 1 Kelly, 275 ; 9 Ga., 405, 205; 11 Ga., 39 ; 18 Ga., 607; 30 Ga., 43; 31 Ga., 357; 38 Ga., 322.
Indeed, this case illustrates the propriety of the law on.
The truth is, that the right of one whose land has been seized by the public, or by another for quasi public use, to just compensation, is a constitutional right laid down in our fundamental law, and is built upon one of the three inherent, absolute- rights of all men in civilized society — the rights of personal liberty, personal security, private property —courts should therefore protect and guard such rights against infraction by affording full compensation. Cons. U. S.; Code, §5224; Cons. Ga., Sup. to Code, §§473, 474, 503 ; 1 Blackstone’s Com., 129.
Judgment affirmed.
