delivered the opinion of the court.
The plaintiff, it seems, became the security of the captain for boat stores upon a note given by the latter for the price of them ; and being afterwards compelled to pay the debt, the captain gave him a bill on New Orleans for the money, and this being unpaid, we are now asked to declare that the surety may proceed for it against the boat, under the statute concerning boat liens, for supplies furnished, &c.
The judgment must be affirmed.
