12 GEO. 1, CAP. 29, SPECIAL BAIL. 943
As to the other branch of the Statute. It will be remembered that though
the want of an original writ is aided after verdict by Stat 18 Eliz. c. 14, an
original bad in substance or a good original which did not warrant the
declaration was not helped. In the case of Giles v. Ferryman, 1. H. & G.
164, the writ was against the defendant in his own right and the declara-
tion charged him in his representative capacity as administrator. The
Court observed that it was laid down by Serjeant Williams in note 3 to 1
Wms. Saund. 318, that no advantage could be taken at this day either
of a defective original or of a variance between it and the declaration;
but they would not decide that point, holding that the variance after
verdict was cured by the Statutes 21 Jac. 1, c. 13 and this Statute and
the Act of 1809, ch. 153.1 The Code now allows of amendments of the
original writ.2
1 Code 1911, Art. 5, secs. 17, 18.
2 Code 1911, Art. 75, sec. 35 (as now amended).
