DEL CREDERE, contracts. A del credere commission is one under which the 
agent, in consideration of an additional premium, engages to insure to his 
principal not only the solvency of the debtor, but the punctual discharge of 
the debt; and he is liable, in the first instance, without any demand from 
the debtor. 6 Bro. P. C. 287; Beawes, 429; 1 T. Rep. 112; Paley on Agency,

the principal by a bill of exchange, he is not liable if it should be 
protested. 2 W. C. C. R. 378. See, also, Com. Dig. Merchant, B; 4 M. & S.
