Birkhead & Clements, for appellant.
Walker & Slack, for appellees.
This was an ordinary action brought by appellant against appellees on a bond signed by them as sureties for L. T. Mullican. The case was tried before the court, who filed the following findings of fact: On these facts the court found, as a matter of law, that the sureties were released by the concealment on the part of plaintiff of the default of the principal, although he had arranged and paid out of his own means, on the ground, as stated by the court, that they would not likely "have continued on his bond, or been willing to any further risk after November 17th, had they known of the large sum in which the principal had fallen behind, and a disclosure became a positive duty when Lyddane wrote to inquire." The letters on which this finding is based are as follows:
