CASES AT THE JUDGES' CHAMBERS.

could not be issued until an assignment of the judgment should be executed by the judgment plaintiff; and that the agreement of January last, whereby particular security was to be given to Sir J. F., excluded the right to resort to this remedy.

Aspland, in opposition to the summons, contended that Sir J. F., as co-surety, paying the whole debt, had a right to resort to all securities given by the co-surety for the recovery of the moiety so unpaid, and referred to Thompson v. Parish (a), as showing that the former taking in execution did not satisfy the judgment, or extinguish the debt. The decisions in Equity, before the late statute, had laid down that a surety or co-surety could not have the benefit of a judgment where it was satisfied by payment, and the statute was expressly passed to alter this. Payment, therefore, did not preclude this remedy, and it could not be said that Sir J. F. had let the defendant out of custody. That was involuntary and was the act of the law (b), and was also in point to show that this remedy existed. No previous assignment of the judgment was necessary, and there was what amounted to an assignment.

CROMPTON, J., said, he had at first had a doubt, whether the judgment creditor could confer a greater right than he himself possessed, but this seemed to be met by the express terms of the section. The circumstances showed an equitable assignment of the judgment remedy to Sir J. F., and there was nothing in the assignment of January to exclude the resort to the remedy in question; and dismissed the summons.
