Simmons v. Scarborough.
    Argued May 24,
    Decided October 3, 1907.
    Practice. Writ of error from Lee superior court.
    The plaintiff in error, Mrs. L. B. Simmons, filed an affidavit of illegality to the levy of a fi. fa. in favor of Scarborough, transferee of Byrom, against E. J. and L. B. Simmons. . Upon the trial the plaintiff in error offered an amendment to her affidavit of illegality. The bill of exceptions recites that “the plaintiff generally demurred to the amendment and objected to the same, and the court sustained the demurrer and refused to allow the amendment; thereupon defendant then and there excepted, and now excepts and assigns the same as error, and for cause of error says that the amendment was sufficient in law and should have been allowed. The plaintiff then introduced the fi. fa. with the levy on the same, and closed. No other evidence; verdict was had for the plaintiff, and judgment entered directing said fi. fa. to proceed.” No other assignment of error is made in the bill of exceptions, than the one above quoted, complaining of the judgment refusing and disallowing the amendment.
