INDEX.

ACCOUNT STATED.

1. Where parties have mutually stated an account of their dealings with
each other, and have adjusted balances on the basis of such statement,
the account will not be surcharged or falsified at the suit of either party,
without clear and satisfactory proof of fraud or mistake. Hoyt et al. v.
McLaughlin,
280

2. On the evidence in this case (for which see the opinion), this court is of
the opinion (contrary to the findings of the court below) that no mistake
or fraud as against the plaintiffs is clearly or satisfactorily shown, and
therefore reverses a judgment rendered in their favor.

AMENDMENT OF PLEADING.

1. Where the original complaint, for work and labor, implied but did not
expressly allege a special contract, and the answer set up a special con-
tract, and alleged non-performance, an amendment of the complaint at
the trial so as to set up such contract was not improperly allowed, though
perhaps immaterial; and where the amendment was made orally, and
not formally filed, but was taken down by the reporter, treated at the
trial as made, and incorporated into the record on appeal by bill of ex-
ceptions, it is treated here as an effectual amendment to support the
verdict and judgment. Kretser v. Cary et al.,

374

2. A complaint setting up a purely legal cause of action (as one in eject-
ment) cannot be amended (either as of course or by leave) so as to set up
a cause of action in equity (as one to remove a cloud upon title). But
the rule does not apply to an amendment made at the trial to conform
the complaint to the proofs, introduced without objection. Carmichael
v. Argard,
607

3. The right to change the action from one purely legal to one purely equi-
table cannot be claimed under section 2832, R. S., on the ground of mis-
