The claimant appealed, saying that she had lost her action for possession when the judge had failed to allow her to amend her pleadings to add an allegation that the tenant ws using the premises for an immoral purpose, having been convicted of living off the proceeds of prostitution.
Held: The amendment would introduce an entirely new allegation of fact. The judge’s discretion was his to exercise and could not be said to have been exercised wrongly.
