Syllabus

<p>Where A authorizes B to sign his name as surety to a noto, and B signs A's name with his own, as joint and several makers of the note, B is not liable.</p> <p>An authority to do a particular act must be exercised in the manner designated, or it is not obligatory.</p> <p>It is not material on what part of a note a secondary promissor places his name; if the character of his liability is made to appear, his rights are the same as those of an endorser.</p>
