Marion County Lumber Co v. Hodges
Supreme Court of South Carolina · Decided April 21, 1915 · Fraser
85 S.E. 49; 100 S.C. 477; 1915 S.C. LEXIS 73 (South Eastern Reporter)

Marion County Lumber Co v. Hodges

Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Mr. Justice Fraser.

This is an appeal from an order of Judge Memminger refusing to allow the defendant to amend his answer.

It is admitted that the motion to amend is án- appeal to the discretion of his Honor. In order for this Court to sustain this appeal it must appear that there is manifest error in refusing the amendment. The complaint is not incorporated in the “case” and when the original answer denies certain allegations of the complaint by number this Court has no means of knowing what the issues are.

The only question argued by the appellant is his right to amend, and since he has not shown the right to amend, the appeal is dismissed.
