16. How does an amendment allowed by the court to be effectuated in the pleadings? English practice in this regard is stated in Halsbury's Laws of England (4th Edn., Vol. 36, para 63, at pp. 48-49) as under:
"63. Mode of amendment. --A pleading may be amended by written alterations in a copy of the document which has been served and by additions of on paper to be interleaved with it if necessary. However, where the amendments are so numerous or of such nature or length that to make written rt alterations of the document so as to give effect to them would make it difficult or inconvenient to read, a fresh document must be prepared incorporating the amendments. If such an extensive amendment is required to a writ, it must be reissued. An amended writ or pleading must be endorsed with a statement that it has been amended, specifying the date on which it was amended, the name of the Judge, master or registrar by whom any order authorizing the amendment was made and the date of the order; or, if no such order was made, the number of the rule in pursuance of which the amendment was made. The practice is to indicate any amendment in a different ink or type from the original, and the colour of the first amendment is usually red."
