Opinion
This suit appears to have been commenced by one of the makers of a promissory note against another maker for contribution.
The plaintiff does not appear to have paid so much upon the note as the defendant; and the larger portion of what he has paid was derived from the common estate, for which the note was made in payment.
Under such circumstances a nonsuit was properly ordered.
Exceptions overruled.
