were of opinion, in regard to the point respecting the amendment, that after judgment on demurrer, it was too late to move (o amend, ¡Sed quaere de hoc..

Upon the other point, the opinion of the court was, that judgment upon the demurrer, in the district court, ought .to have been for the defendants, because cases may happen, wherein it may be proper to conclude a plea of surrender, with a verification, as where a surren. der has been actually made, and which the bail ought to have the benefit of, but which may, nevertheless, not be entered of record, so as to be pleaded with a prout patet per recordum.
