LOUDERMILK v. BAILEY.

No. 4349.

Supreme Court of Georgia

January 14, 1925

Syllabus by the Court.

The omission of a prayer for process is amendable. Lyons v. Planters' Loan & Sav. Bank, 86 Ga. 485, 12 S.E. 882, 12 L.R.A. 155; Barnes-Fain Co. v. Chandler, 148 Ga. 158, 96 S.E. 179, and citations. Consequently the court erred in refusing to allow the amendment offered, adding a prayer for process, and in thereafter dismissing the action because there had been no legal process.

Error from Superior Court, Union County; J. B. Jones, Judge.

Action by S. B. Loudermilk against M. M. Bailey. Judgment for defendant, and plaintiff brings error. Reversed.

Thos. A. Brown and B. L. Smith, both of Blue Ridge, for plaintiff in error.

J. G. Collins, of Gainesville, and Pat Haralson and T. S. Candler, both of Blairsville, for defendant in error.
