Supreme Court of Georgia

Decided August 14, 1903PublishedCited by 18 opinions

Complaint — attachment. Before Judge Norwood. City court of Savannah. November 7, 1902.

1Opinion of the CourtSimmoks, C. J.

1. Where a petition contains several counts, it is not error to refuse to dismiss the whole case on the ground that one of the counts is bad.

2. Where the payee in several promissory notes brings suit thereon in his own name for the use of another, and the usee, before the commencement of the action, has acquired the legal title by indorsement, the petition is amendable by striking the name of the original plaintiff and allowing the action to proceed in the name of the usee. Wilson v. Presbyterian Church, 56 Ga. 554; Martin v. Lamb, 77 Ga. 252 (2); Liverpool Ins. Co. v. Ellington, 94 Ga. 785.
