Analysis
No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.
Opinion — Field
Field, J., delivered the opinion of the Court —Terry, C. J., and Baldwin, J., concurring.
The County Court erred in refusing to allow the plaintiff to amend his complaint, and in dismissing the suit. Amendments should be readily allowed whenever they will tend to the furtherance of justice, and the greatest liberality in this respect should be extended to pleadings in Justices’ Courts.
Judgment reversed, and cause remanded.
