MR. JUSTICE McREYNOLDS delivered the opinion of the Court.
This cause presents the following question: does a discharge in bankruptcy acquit an express obligation of the principal to indemnify his surety against loss by reason of their joint bond, conditioned to secure his faithful performance of a building contract broken prior to the bankruptcy when the surety paid the consequent damage thereafter?
