against the principal at the request of the surety, securing the obligee by paying the amount of the bond into a banker's. Page 646 2. A surety may be sued in the first instance: but if the creditor sues the principal first, and gives time, the surety is discharged. 3. Surety, depositing the money and indemnifying against expence, &c. may compel the creditor to go against the principal, and even to prove under a commission of bankruptcy for the benefit of the surety. 734 4. The discharge of a surety by the creditor has not the effect of a discharge of the principal without reserve; and therefore a co-surety is not discharged. When it is ascertained, what each of the co-sureties has paid beyond his proportion, the equity as between them is arranged upon the principle of contribution for the excess. Ex parte Gifford.

5. Grounds of the decision, that a discharge of the principal debtor, without a reserve of the remedy against the surety, discharges the surety.

REVOCATION.

199

1. Devise of fee-farm rents revoked in equity as well as at law by subsequent conyeyance to a trustee, operating an alteration of the estate beyond the mere purpose of securing a mortgage: but on account of the laches of the Plaintiffs, the heirs at law, the Master of the Rolls would not assist them further than by retaining the bill; with liberty to bring such action or suit as they may be advised; to give an opportunity of taking the opinion of a Court of Law upon the question, whether there is a revocation at law; or, whether a Court of Law will presume republication from the long possession, leaving open the question, whether the Plaintiffs are entitled to any account, or how far back. Harmood v. Oglander. 2. Whether the whole legal estate is conveyed, whether for a partial or general purpose, with the single exception of the case of partition, a Court of Law has nothing to do with the purpose; but is to see, whether the interest remains the same in the devisor as at the date of the will: if not, whether the purpose is partial or general, by way of charge, or not, it is a revocation at law. 3. The question in a Court of Law as to the revocation of a will is only, whether the legal devise is revoked by the deed. All other questions as to the partial purpose, &c. are merely equitable questions. The case of partition is anomalous. 4. Where the deed, clearly revoking the will at law, is only for the partial purpose of introducing a particular

charge or incumbrance, and does
not affect the interest of the testator
beyond that purpose, it is only a
partial revocation in equity; and
though, after that purpose is an-
swered, the use is declared for the
testator and his heirs, a Court of
Equity will hold the party a trustee
for the devisees: so upon a devise of
an equitable estate, and a subsequent
conveyance of the legal estate to the
devisor and his heirs.
Page 219
5. Devise not revoked in equity by a
mortgage in fee for payment of
debts; though after the debts are
paid the devisor takes a conveyance
to him and his heirs.
6. Any alteration of the estate, or a
new estate taken, is at law a revo-
cation, whether for a partial or a
general purpose; to which a Court
of Law cannot advert; neither ought
they to take any notice of articles
or covenants, charging the estate in
equity; but only to say upon the
will and the subsequent deed, whe-
ther the old estate is changed, and
a new estate acquired.
7. Equity never controls the law upon
revocation, except, where the bene-
ficial interest, being distinct from
the legal estate, is devised, and the
devisor afterwards takes the legal
estate without any new modification
or alteration: 2dly, Where having
the complete legal and beneficial
estate at the date of the will he de-
vests himself of the legal estate;
but remains owner of the equitable
interest; as in the case of a mort-
gage or a conveyance for payment
of debts.
