The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

In Scotch law

He in whose favor a suspension is made. In general, a suspender is required to give caution to pay the debt in the event it shall be found due. Where the suspender cannot, from his low or suspected circumstances, procure unquestionable security, the lords admit juratory caution; but the reasons of suspension are in that case to be considered with at SUSPENDERE (Law Lat.) In old English law. To hang; to execute by hanging. Suspensus, hanged.
