Description
Plaintiff brought this action against three defendants, namely, his former guardian, the surety on the guardians bond, and a local bank, to recover certain sums of money alleged to have been paid by the guardian from the funds of plaintiffs estate to the bank without authority. The guardian defaulted in the action. The surety and the bank appeared separately and in their answers denied liability. By way of cross-complaint against the bank, the surety asked to be subrogated to any rights which plaintiff might establish against the bank. Trial before the court, without a jury, resulted in a judgment in favor of plaintiff against both the guardian and the surety, but exonerating the bank from any liability to either the plaintiff or the surety. This is an appeal by the surety alone and is adverse to both the plaintiff and the bank.
