¶1There was no necessity for amending this verdict in the court below. The defect is cured by our statute of amendments and jeofails.
¶2Error having been joined, the motion to dismiss the appeal comes too late. It would have prevailed if made in the first instance, as the judgment does not amount to twenty dollars, exclusive of costs, nor does it relate to a franchise or freehold.
