A bill accepted by one as principal and another as cautioner being suspended by the cautioner, for that a cautionary obligation could not be created in the form of a bill; the suspender on oath acknowledged that he wrote the bill; that he agreed to become cautioner, and therefore wrote it in that form; that the charger objected to the word cautioner, and that he the suspender answered, that he would be bound in no other way. First Lord Kilkerran, and then the whole Court repelled the reason of suspension, and Drummore, (who was in the chair) doubted if being bound as a cautioner was a nullity.
