In this cause it was debated, whether a prorogation granted to a principal debtor will be profitable to a cautioner; and if such a prorogation will infer a novation so as simply to liberate the cautioner; and if a novation of the sum contained in a former bond may be also made use of by the cautioner in the same, though it seems not to be introduced in the cautioner's favours. See Mascardus conclus. 1113. Vide etiam, Schotanum de constitut. Principum, page 28, de Rescriptis moratoriis made in favours of the principal, but not of the cautioner. Vide Notas D. van Tien super eo loco ibique Freundergerbium.
