to meet variances arising from mere slips or acci-
dents, and that they do not extend to a case like
the present, in which the party has intentionally
and designedly framed his pleading in a manner
which gives rise to this objection. This being my
opinion, and the allowance of amendments being
entirely in the discretion of the Judge at Nisi Prius,
I shall not allow an amendment in this case;" and
the Court of Queen's Bench, after consideration,
refused a rule for a new trial. If the true con-
struction be, that "it shall be lawful for any court,
&c., to amend when any variance shall appear
between the proof and the recital on the record of
any contract, &c., or other matter, in any particu-
lar in the judgment of the court-not material to
the merits of the case," &c., the amendment in the
principal case was going further than the statutes
warranted. The averment could not have been in-
troduced under the 9 Geo. 4, not being a portion of
the written contract declared upon; nor under the
3 & 4 Vic. c. 105, which, if our view be correct,
extended only to such amendments as we before
adverted to; that is, when the averment intro-
duced by the amendment could be found in the
contract, or other cause of action; and, in this
view, it is immaterial to discuss whether the amend-
ment was material to the merits, or prejudicial to
the defence. The words "other matter," which
appear to have been relied on in the argument of
the principal case, as conferring large powers of
amendment, would seem to include causes of action
ejusdem generis with those previously enumerated,
such as actions not directly founded on written in-
struments, ejectment and replevin, which previously
were not amendable under the 9 Geo. 4, as not
professing to set out any written instrument, Ryder
v. Malbon (3 Car. & P. 594), and not expressly
named in the 3 & 4 Vic. c. 105.

Before entering on an examination of the cases decided on these acts, we must call the attention of our readers to two very important distinctions in the practice of pleading in this country and in England, which must be kept in view; first, the allowance in England of but one count; secondly, the necessity of pleading specially, defences which in this country are admissible under the general issue, both of which will be seen to have an important effect on the law of amendment, the first, by narrowing the plaintiff's statement, would, particularly with respect to instruments difficult of construction, place him at a considerable disadvantage if it were not for the very liberal construction the courts have given these statutes, a construction admittedly adopted to relieve plaintiffs from the difficulty alluded to, Smith v. Knowelden (2 Man. & Gr. 561), and for which the same reasons do not exist in this country, it being here in the plaintiff's power to state his case in as many forms as he pleases. The second is of consequence, in considering the rule established by the English authorities, that the amendment is improper where it admits of a plea different from that on the record, Garrett v. Handely (3 B. & Cr. 462); Brashier v. Jackson (6 M. & W. 554); Boucher v. Murray (6 Q. B. 362), as being prejudicial to the defence, a test not so easily applied in this country, where the matters of defence, that must be pleaded spe

cially in England,- -are not only here less usual in practice, but would, in many instances, be improper, as amounting to the general issue.

We shall consider the cases on this subject in two classes, those in which the amendment sought was held not to be within the purview of the acts, and those in which the question, admitting the propriety of the amendment in other respects, was, whether it was in a particular immaterial to the merits, or whether the defence would be prejudiced thereby. In the first class we find it established that the object of the statutes was, not to cure vicious pleadings, but to prevent non-suits from variances, Atkinson v. Raleigh, (3 Q. B. 85; 6 Jur. 731); to give the court the power of protecting a plaintiff, by amending an obvious mistake, Brown v. Dean, (2 Nev. & Man. 222, Denman, C. J) and not to give either plaintiff, or defendant an opportunity of mending their hand, by introducing on the record either a cause of action, or a defence different from that first put forward; and on this principle, that if the record had in the first instance stated the cause of action in its amended form, and the other party had not been misled by his opponent's pleading, different issues might have been raised; when the question really is not whether there is a variance between the proof and the record, but whether the defect is in the declaration, amendments will not be allowed; as where the year of the demise was not stated in the declaration in ejectment. Doe v. Parsons, (8 M. & W. 158); see also David v. Preece, (5 Q. B. 440); Franklin v. E. of Falmouth, (6 Car. & P. 529): Doe v. Errington, (1 Ad. & El. 750, S. C.; 3 N. & Man. 646).

In the next place, supposing the amendment proper -as not introducing new matter, it then will be for consideration whether the variance be not in a particular material to the merits, or the amendment proposed prejudicial to the defence, as where the defendant would be thereby deprived of what would have been ground for a motion in arrest of judgment, Atkinson v. Raleigh, (5 Q. B. 79; 6 Jur. 731); or the pleading, as amended, would be demurrable. Evans v. Powis, (11 Jur. 1043). And the best test of the extent to which the particular amendment is prejudicial, is that before alluded to, namely, whether the same plea would be applicable before and after the amendment. In Southee v. Denny, (17 Law. Jour. 171, Ex. N.S.) the words proved being different from those laid in the record, the court refused a new trial, saying, "the words as amended were actionable, but, that if the words inserted by amendment could have been answered by a plea of justification, and that the original words could not, the amendment would not have been proper;" and, in a similar case, Pater v. Baker, (11 Jur. 170; 16 Law Jour. 124, C.P.N.S.) Wilde, C. J., says the amendment must be allowed. " plea the defendant could have pleaded would have equally been an answer to both," i. e. the amended and original record, and the same rule is followed in Smith v. Knowelden, (2 Man. & Gr. 561). And, in all cases where the amendment required arises merely from a mis-statement of the cause, not a misconception of the right of action, the court will be very liberal in the exercise of this power, if it be not prejudicial to the merits. Sainsbury v.

By these observations we do not mean to imply that the discretion of the judge in the principal case was not rightly exercised; if he had refused to amend, his decision could not be reviewed, and his strong sense of justice no doubt induced him to allow the amendment-whether his own opinions were favourable or otherwise-in order that the question might receive a more solemn adjudication by the full Court.

Mathews, (4 M. & W. 343); Gurford v. Bayley, and not the defence to the action, that it was (8 Man. & Gr.781); Hanbury v. Ella, (1 Ad. & El. never intended by the legislature that the plaintiff' 61); Evans v. Fryer, (10 Ad. & El. 609), Whit- should be allowed at the trial not only to cure a worth v. Scheer, (8 Ad. & El. 301); Boyd v. Moyle, variance between his statement and his proof, but, (2 C. B. 632); Smith v. Brandram, (2 Scott, N.R. in the language of Parke, B., (Doe v. Parsons,) 539; 1 Nev. & Man. 332). In Edwards v. Leach," to cure a defect in his declaration." (3 Man. & Gr. 229,) the demise in the ejectment was on the 15th, the proof was of a right of entry on the 16th. This variance was amended, and on a motion for a new trial, Tindal, C. J. says “There was a variance between the allegation in the lease and the proof, the amendment of which is clearly warranted by the statute. It is said, this is an improper interference with the admission of the defendant in the consent rule; on the amendment being made, the declaration is to be considered as having been always in its amended form, and the consent rule is to be taken as always applicable thereto. Coltman, J.-In many instances, undoubtedly, it may be material to the merits whether the right of entry accrued on the one day or the other. In such a case the judge would in all probability refuse to amend, and Maule, J.-The consent is to confess any lease that will establish the title of the lessor;" in Mariott v. Edwards, ( M. & Rob. 320, S C. 6 Car. & P. 208,) the court allowed the proper parish to be inserted, the parties not being misled by the misdescription; and see Gladwell v. Stegall, (8 Scott, 60); Roberts v. Snell, 1 M. & Gr. 577); Boys v. Ancell, (5 Bing. N. C. 390). There is one case which illustrates strongly the length to which the court will go where the merits are not affected. The action was by the indorsee against the indorser of a bill of exchange. The evidence was, that the defendant was payee of the bill, and, in that capacity, indorsed to the plaintiff. The court allowed the amendment, as the defendant could raise no defence to the record as amended that was not open to him in its original form. This case is not opposed to Jelf v. Oriel, there the bill was stated to be specially accepted at "A. or B." in the alternative, purporting to give the hæc verba, whereas in the former case, according to the usual form of pleading, the legal effect alone was given, which the court will, as we have shewn, be most liberal in amending, when the defendant is not thereby prejudiced.

To apply these principles to the case under consideration, we think the amendment went further than any of the cases we have referred to; first, because the averment placed on the record was not drawn from the instrument upon which the action was founded, whether it be considered with respect to the ipsissima verba, or the legal effect; and secondly, because the plaintiff, having stated his cause of action in as many shapes as appeared to him necessary to sustain it, should not be allowed to introduce an averment necessarily requiring a new plea. It may be said that as all these defences are in this country available under the general issue, that the defendant was not prejudiced as he would be at Westminster, if confined to one plea, but it appears to us that the plaintiff having the right to state his case without any limit as to the number of counts, and the defendant going to trial with a legal defence to each, which, in Duckworth v. Harrison, (5 M. & W. 427,) was held to be the defence at Nisi Prius,
