The court allowed the amendments because the matters sought to be incorporated were already pleaded in the Reply and in issue between the parties, no new factual averments were introduced, and there was no element of surprise or prejudice; accordingly pleading gross negligence as a legal conclusion on existing facts was permitted and the defendant's application for adjournment was refused.
