““The debtor has the right to make the application in the first instance, and failing to exercise it, the same right devolves upon the creditor. When no application is made by either party, the law determines how the payments are to be applied in accordance with equitable rules and principles .... [I]t will apply the payment, when not appropriated by either party, in the way most beneficial to the creditor, that is, to the debt least secured, unless to the prejudice of a surety.””
7 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Moxley v. Comer · In Re Comer“the law presumes, in ordinary cases, that the debtor intended to pay in the way at the time was most to his advantage.”
