John Bockheim, Plaintiff in Certiorari, vs. Alexander R. Linn et al., Defendants in Certiorari.
    
    
      Amendment.
    
    In the Court below the summons was against Bockheim and Co. The constable’s return shows service on the “defendant.” The plaintiff declared against “defendant.” During the trial plaintiff’s attorney moved to amend by inserting the name of John Bockheim alone. This was allowed and defendant excepted.
   The Court,

Walker, J.,

affirmed the judgment, holding that while in the case of joint defendants, such an amendment would not be allowable, yet it appearing that Bockheim was not served in the firm name, but individually, and he so pleaded to the declaration, the amendment was properly allowed to be made.
