LIABILITY OF SURETIES.
The Supreme Court Gives q Decisio
in the Scranton Case.

The Supreme Court Gives Decision
in the Scranton Case.
The Supreme Court has affirmed the
Judgment of the lower court in the case OF
George Summerton against E. H. Hanson
and Z. u. Atherton, who were bondsmen
for George Scranton, building contrac-
tor. Scranton contracted to erect build
ing for Summerton and guaranteed to de-
liver the building free of ali liens. The
contract was recorded, but the plans and
specifications were not and the contract
became void. However, Scranton con-
structed the building, upon which several
liens were flied and which Summerton
was obliged to make good in The sum of
$4O52 40, or 1892 40 more than the contract
price.
He sued the sureties, Hanson and Ath-
erton, for $1920 40 and obtained Judgment.
Their arguments were that the contract
being void the liability of the principal
upon the contract was extinguished, and
uDon this followed the release of the sure
ties, for their obligation could in no event
be greater than that of the principal The
Supreme Court held that this point had
many times been decided and that it was
OF no avail and the judgment was affirmed.
