This action was commenced in justice’s court. The summons by which the suit was commenced reads, “John Farnam, assignee of Lawrence Farnam.” Defendant did not appear, and judgment was rendered in favor of plaintiff for $75. Defendant appealed. Shortly after the trial commenced in the circuit court, it was discovered that the declaration- did not aver the assignment, and the court permitted an amendment averring it. The declaration in the justice’s court was not in writing, and the amendment allowed by the court was not reduced to writing. The plaintiff recovered, and defendant brings error.
