Russell, C: J.
1. A petition is amendable where “there can be no doubt that the original declaration and the amendment offered refer, to one- and the same cause of action, that cause of action which was from the beginning in the pleader’s mind, and which'he wished and intended to prosecute to judgment.” The amendment offered and allowed in,this case came within this ruling. Bright v. Central City R. Co., 88 Ga. 538 (15 S. E. 16); Ga. Ry. &c. Co. v. Bailey, 9 Ga. App. 106 (2) (70 S. E. 607).
