A Bond being granted by two persons as co-principals, but whereof one got a bond of relief from the other; some time after a third person granted a simple bond of corroboration, and also got a bond of relief from the principal debtor; and this last paying upon assignation, was found to have action against the first cautioner only for a half; and that they were to be considered as co-cautioners; agreeably to the decision Murray of Broughton and Orchardton in 1722, affirmed in Parliament even ex parte. (See Dict. No. 31. p. 14651.)
