Syllabus

<p>Joint Obligors—Contribution—Debts barred.—To entitle one joint obligor to recover from his co-obligor money paid by him in excess of his proportion, the payment must have been made upon a debt for which the latter was legally liable at time of the payment, and which the obligor paying was compellable to pay, and not upon a debt that was barred as to the obligor sought to be charged, and who may be, as in the case here, a personal representative, forbidden to pay, under Code, § 2676, without making himself personally liable to extent of such payment.</p>
