1. “The act of 1827, Revised Statutes, ch. 13, sec. 10, (now Code, sec. 50), makes an endorser liable to the holder of a note as surety. The effect is to put him on the footing of a maker of the note, and to make him liable to the holder, the same as if his name was on the face of the note instead of being on the back.”
