Tennessee Supreme Court September 22, 1897 (Bank v. Matson)

Wilkes, J.

The bill in this case is filed, among other things, to collect a note for $1,000 upon which defendant, A. R. Johnson, was surety for defendant, Matson. Johnson defended the action upon the ground that the bank had extended time of payment to the defendant, Matson, without his consent and to his prejudice, and thus released him from liability.
