Shaw v. Tobias (3 Comst., 188) is an authority.
In Yorks v. Peck (14 Barb., 647) this court says: “In all cases of a joint note given upon a joint loan of money, or a joint liability of any kind, it will be presumed it was intended the note should be several as well as joint, and effect will be given to it according to that intention.” So in this case the undertaking will be presumed to be several; and in accordance with section 120 of the Code, the action may be against either of the parties to the instrument. .
