Syllabus

<p>1. The rule is settled that a' judgment rendered at one term may be amended at a subsequent term, nunc pro tunc, when from an inspection of tbe record in tbe cause it is apparent that the proposed amendment would have been a part of the original judgment or that the original judgment would have been in accordance therewith, had it not have been for the inadvertence of the court or an error or omission of the cleric.</p> <p>2. When a suit is brought against an administrator of an estate and judgment rendered adding only after his name “administrator of estate of J. S. Adams,” and the whole record shows that the suit was based on a claim or demand against the deceased person of whose estate the defendant is administrator, the court will, on motion, at a subsequent term, permit the record to be amended so as to show that the defendant was sued and judgment rendered against him “as administrator of J. S. Adams, deceased.”</p>
