Bank of the United States v. Lee

The Court, (nem. con.) on the motion of Mr. Taylor, the defendant’s counsel, instructed the jury, in effect, that if they should find from the evidence that the plaintiffs, in consideration of new security given by the maker of the note, agreed with him, without the defendant’s consent, to extend the time of payment of the debt for one year or more, the defendant was thereby discharged from his liability as indorser of the note.
