Lumpkin J.

delivering the opinion.

In Cardin vs. Standly, (20 Ga. Rep. 105,) this Court held, that in a proceeding under the Act of 1854, to protect land owners against intruders, and to give land owners a remedy in certain cases, the affidavits of the parties are not what constitutes the pleadings; and are, therefore not amendable under the Amendment Act of 1854. That decision covers and controls this case.

Judgment affirmed.
