4. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary |
Surety
one who becomes responsible for another. Christ is the surety of
the better covenant (Heb. 7:22). In him we have the assurance
that all its provisions will be fully and faithfully carried
out. Solomon warns against incautiously becoming security for
another (Prov. 6:1-5; 11:15; 17:18; 20:16).
|
5. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
SURETY, contracts. A person who binds himself for the payment of a sum of
money or for the performance of something else, for another, who is already
bound for the same. A surety differs from a guarantor, and the latter cannot
be sued until after a suit against the principal. 10 Watts, 258.
2. The surety differs from bail in this, that the latter actually has,
or is by law presumed to have, the custody of his principal, while the
former has no control over him. The bail may surrender his principal in
discharge of his obligation; the surety cannot be discharged by such
surrender.
3. In Pennsylvania it has been decided that the creditor is bound to
sue the principal when requested by the surety, and the debt is due; and
that when proper notice is given by the surety that unless the principal be
sued, be will consider himself discharged, he will be so considered, unless
the principal be sued. 8 Serg. & Rawle, 116; 15 Serg. & Rawle, 29, 30; S. P.
in Alabama, 9 Porter, R. 409. But in general a creditor may resort to the
surety for the payment of his debt in the first place, without applying to
the principal. 1 Watts, 28O; 7 Ham. part 1, 223. Vide Bouv. Inst. Index,
h.t.; Contribution; Contracts; Suretyship.
