| Court | Georgia Supreme Court |
Syllabus by the Court.
A declaration, brought by a father to recover "for the services," during its minority, of a minor child, negligently killed by a railway company, in which it was alleged "that, as she advanced in years, her services would have become of great value to him," though it does not distinctly aver that at the time of the killing the child was capable of rendering services of any value, is amendable by alleging that the child was old enough to render, and did in fact render, certain specified services, and the same were, at the time of her death, of a stated value per month.
