Syllabus
<p>1. A surety in the oficial bond of a county treasurer, having made good a deficit in the accounts of sueli treasurer, is entitled to be subrogated to the rights of the county upon the bond, and, without any formal order of substitution, may claim thereon a dividend out of the assigned estate of the treasurer.</p> <p>2. In such ease, the dividend, to which the surety is entitled, is to be awarded, not upon the penalty named in the bond, but upon the amount which the surety has been compelled to pay, the latter being the real debt: and there is no distinction in this respect between an official bond and an ordinary bond.</p>
