7 Ga. 105 | Ga. | 1849
By the Court —
delivering the opinion.
The Act of 1818, respecting amendments, is very broad and comprehensive in its terms, and ought, in our judgment, when invoked for the furtherance of justice, to receive a liberal construction. Prince, 442. Martin vs. Phillips, 4 Georgia Rep. 203. Taylor vs. Lyon, 15 Eng. Com. Law Rep. 461. Brace vs. Benson, 10 Wendell’s Rep. 213. The amendment'in this case was allowed under the provisions and restrictions of the 54th Common Law rule of practice. Hotchkiss, 950. The application to amend the plaintiff’s declaration was made in furtherance of justice, and we will not control the discretion of the Court below, in allowing it.
Let the judgment of the Court below be affirmed.
