One being pursued upon his bond assigned, alleged, That the cedent, by a note under his hand, was liable to perform some obligements to the defender. Answered, The said note cannot be considered as a back-bond, but as a distinct separate obligement, seeing it is not of the same date with the defender's bond, nor contains any clause relative thereto. Replied, That it is offered to be proven, by the pursuer's oath, that he knew the said note was granted upon occasion of the said bond. Duplied, Non reievat, unless it were likewise proven that the note was designed to qualify the bond; it being consistent that a distinct obligement might have been granted upon occasion of the bond. This point was not determined.
