City of Seattle v. Savage

Opinion of the Court

Mackintosh, J.

— The refusal of the trial court to allow the filing of an amended complaint, upon an ap*72peal, from a conviction of the violation of a city ordinance in the police court of the city of Seattle, was directly contrary to our holding in the case of Everett v. Cowles, 97 Wash. 396, 166 Pac. 786, and for that reason, the judgment of the lower court is reversed.

Main, C. J., Mount, Holcomb, and Chadwick, JJ., concur.
