Supreme Court of Georgia August 12, 1908 (Brown v. Atlanta, Birmingham & Atlantic Railroad)

Beck, J.

1. While a defendant may file an answer to an amendment to the petition in a ease, admitting or denying material allegations in the same, or stating why he can neither admit nor deny them, he is not required to file an answer to the amendment, and his failure to do so does not authorize the court or jury to treat the allegations in the amendment as being admitted.
