Lee v. Hightower
Court of Appeals of Georgia
Decided December 9, 1907No. 697PublishedCited by 2 opinions
Complaint, from city court of Dublin — M. H. Blackshear, judge pro hac vice. June 27, 1907.
1Opinion of the CourtRusstdll, J.
Hightower sued Lee on a promissory note. The court refused to allow the amendment which the defendant offered, to his plea, struck the plea of the defendant already of file, and entered judgment as in case of default, in favor of the plaintiff, for principal, interest, attorney’s fees, and costs. We are satisfied that the court erred in both rulings. The judgment must therefore be set aside, the amendment of the defendant be allowed, and a new trial be had.
The note sued upon, so far as now material, is as follows:
*227“$125.00. Dublin, Ga., Dee. 14, 1904. On or before the 14th •day of March…
