    "head_matter": "Chattanooga Savings Bank, Defendant in Error, v. Charles L. Lumby, Plaintiff in Error.\nGen. No. 18,420.\n(Not to be reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Freeman K. Blake, Judge, presiding.\nHeard in this court at the October term, 1912.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed February 2, 1914.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction by Chattanooga Savings Bank against Charles L. Lumby for a balance due on a promissory note executed by a third person to defendant and made payable to the order of the plaintiff Bank. Afterwards the defendant indorsed his name on the back of the \u25a0note and sold it to the bank. When the note fell due the bank obtained a payment and a new note for the balance was executed by the maker to the bank. From a judgment in favor of plaintiff, defendant brings error.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Bills and notes, \u00a7 399 \u2014when indorser presumed liable as a guarantor. Where a note given to an individual is made payable on its face to the order of a bank and such person writes his name on the back of the note and sells it to the bank, by indorsing the note, the transaction comes within the rule that where a person not the payee of a note places his name on the back thereof the legal presumption is that his liability is that of a guarantor.\n2. Bills and notes, \u00a7 190 \u2014nature of guarantor's liability. A guarantor of a note is an original promisor and not one secondarily liable; the only way he can be relieved from liability thereon is by the payment of the note.\n3. Bills and notes, \u00a7 98 \u2014when giving of new note does not operate to cancel old note. Where a note given to an individual was made payable to a bank and the holder indorsed his name thereon and sold it to the bank, and when the note became due a new note was executed to the bank by the maker, held in a suit by the bank against the person to whom the note was given that a defense that the new note was given in full payment and in cancellation of the first note could not be sustained where there is uncontradicted evidence that the bank retained the old note as collateral to the new one.\n4. Bills and notes, \u00a7 96 \u2014when not extended. Where an old note is retained as collateral security for a new one there is no extension.\nOscar M. Lumby, for plaintiff in error.\nHolt, Wheeler & Sidley, for defendant in error.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Veis. XI to XV, same topic and section number."
