In any hearing on the estate of an insolvent debtor or a deceased person before commissioners, or before the Superior Court on appeal from the actions of the commissioners, the claimant may amend any defect, mistake or informality in the statement of the claim, provided that he does not change the ground of action. Any such amendment in the Superior Court shall be upon such terms as to costs as the court directs.
