Court Restricts
 Right to Amend
O-O-

Judge R. w. Jennings, in the Unit ed States district court, held this morning that the right of a party to a law suit to amend a pleading is linn ited, and he applied the limitation in the suit of McCartney-Cobb case, in- volving the title to real estate. MT. and Mrs. Mccartney had plead that the property that Mrs. J. H. Cobb had purchased from Mrs. Mccartney, and in the deed to which Mr. Mccartney had failed to join, was paid for from the separate funds of each of them, and that, therefore a deed that was signed only by Mrs. Mccartney did not convey legal title. They both tes- tifed in accordance with the plead ings. Judge Overfield, who heard the case on trial, held that the fact that the property was partly paid for from Mrs McCartney's separate furds and the deed taken in her name made it her separate property, as it was fair to presume that the money con- tributed by her husband to the pur- chase price was a gift. This decision practically confirmed Mrs. CObb's ti- tie to the property. The attorneys for Mccartney then asked the court for authority to amend his pleadings to show that Mir. Mccartney had paid for all of the property, and that it was, in fact, his. Judge Jennings refused to grant the permission in view of the former pleadings and the testimony on the same state of facts.
