Hatch v. Hobbs
Hatch v. Hobbs
Opinion of the Court
This is a ease of a simple contract of guaranty, and so far' as any distinction exists between sealed contracts and those not under seal, in favor of a more extended liability, attaching to the latter, as has sometimes been held, that circumstance exists here in favor of the construction of this contract asked by the plaintiffs.
The adjudicated cases as to what constitutes a continuing guaranty do not clearly mark a plain line of discrimination between those guaranties which have been held to limit the liability of the surety to a single transaction or dealing to a certain amount, and those that are to be held continuing guaran
No objection exists as to want of notice of acceptance of this guaranty. Smith v. Hann, 6 Hill, 543. Whitney v. Groot, 24. Wend. 82. Exceptions overruled.
