Joint Obligations.

1.

Will held to gratify requirements of this section so far as it applies. Will
leaving property in trust for children for life and upon death of last survivor
in fee to grandchildren construed. Marshall v. Security Storage Co., 155 Md.
652.

10.

This section and sec. 14 recognize the right to recover judgment against one

Art. 26, sec. 21. which was identical with this section, has been repealed.

forth the date of such payment, the amounts so paid in satisfaction, and the
name or names of the judgment debtor or debtors so paying the same, and
upon the filing of such order of entry to use in the case in which said judg-
ment was obtained, said judgment shall be entered on the docket to the use
of the judgment debtor or debtors who shall have paid the same, against
the judgment debtor or debtors who have not contributed thereto, to the
extent of the pro rata share or shares of said non-contributing defendant
or defendants in said judgment debt, and to such extent said entry shall
