1. “3. For the benefit of him who, being bound with others, or for others, for the payment of the debt, had an interest in discharging it. This Court stated in Singleton : Here American Fidelity and Singleton entered into an agreement with LeBeauf, one of the guest passengers, wherein the latter received a sum of money in exchange for the complete release of the former. Thus, the release was for the benefit of American Fidelity and Singleton and not for the benefit of the other debtors, namely the defendants Kindler and Allstate. [Emphasis added.]”
