1959The case of Maynard v. Marshall, 91 Ga. 840, 845 ( 18 S. E. 403 ), is cited by the plaintiff in error, wherein Judge Bleckley said: `It is also a general rule applicable to amending statutes, that they *286 are to be construed as intended to have operation on future transactions only, and as having no retroactive purpose not plainly expressed.' While the act of 1912 is amendatory of the law as then existing with reference to the venue of suits of the kind like the present, the statement of the general rule as to retroactive statutes made by Judge Bleckley can have no application to a case of t

1938As pointed out by Fish, Chief Justice, in Kight v. Gaskin, 139 Ga. 379, 385 ( 77 S. E. 390 ), one of the grounds of special demurrer was that the petition failed to allege “in what way it [the mistake] arose.” The case last cited is also an authority for the ruling that the petition now under review does sufficiently set forth how the alleged mutual mistake occurred, and what brought it about. • The principle stated in the third note, which is taken verbatim from the Code, was codified from the decision in Werner v. Rawson, 89 Ga. 619 ( 15 S. E. 813 ), which was largely based on a statement of
