The defense was that appellee was a surety on the note, and that appellants, after the note became due, for a valuable consideration paid byBurr, the principal debtor, extended the time of the payment thereof for the period of sixty days.\nOn the trial of the cause the judgment was for appellee.\nWe have carefully examined the record in this case, and are unable to find any evidence showing that appellants did or were to receive any consideration for an extension of the time of the payment of said note, or that they in any manner contracted to extend the time of payment. To relieve the surety in a case of this character, the agreement to extend the time of payment must be such as to prevent the holder of the note from instituting suit during the continuance of such extension. There is no evidence of such an agreement as that in this record. The verdict of the jury is manifestly against the weight of the evidence, and a new trial should have been awarded. The judgment of the county court is reversed and the cause remanded.\nReversed and remanded.",
