<p>Practice, G. P. — Amendments—Parties—Trespass—Acts of May 4,1852, P. L. 574, and April 12, 1858, P. L. 243.</p> <p>Where in an action of trespass the statement alleges that the negligent act was the joint act of three defendants, and subsequently the plaintiff discontinues the suit against two of the defendants, the statement may be amended so as to charge the same negligent act as the separate act of the remaining defendant. Such an amendment does not change the cause of action.</p>
