delivered the opinion of the court.

Appellant was administrator de bonis non of the estate of Abigail Barnes, deceased. The former administrator had sold a horse, belonging to the estate, to appellee. The note representing the agreed price of the horse was taken payable to the administrator individually. When this note was offered in evidence, *275defendant objected, because it was alleged that the sale of the horse by administrator was void. This objection was sustained by the court. Plaintiff asked leave to amend the-cause of action so as to sue for the value of the horse. Defendant’s objection to this amendment was sustained. We think the amendment should have been allowed.
