Fisher v. Boecher.
    Appeal from judgment rendered by the trial judge dismissing complaint.
    
      Wensley & Gilroy, for plaintiff (respondent).
    
      A. H. Berrick, for defendant (appellant).
   Newburger, J.

This action was brought by one of two sureties against his cosurety to recover one-half of the amount paid by plaintiff upon the breach of the condition of an undertaking, which he and his cosurety, the defendant, executed. After the filing of the undertaking, a judgment was recovered against the defendant in said action. Subsequently an action was brought against the sureties upon the undertaking in question to recover the amount of such judgment, and thereupon the plaintiff herein paid the sum, with interest and costs, and brought his action to recover one-half of the judgment paid by him.

The cause was tried, and the defendant not offering any evidence, the court directed a verdict for the amount claimed, and from the judgment entered thereon this appeal is taken.

The trial justice properly denied defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint, and the exception thereto was without merit.

The judgment must, therefore, be affirmed, with costs.

Ehrlich, Ch. J., and McCarthy, J., concur.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
