In Case No. 429875 in the Court of Common Fleas of Cuyahoga County a judgment in favor of the Superintendent of Banks was rendered against Gilbert Uthoff in sum of $990.12, and judgment in the same amount was rendered against Ruth R. Hinsman. The judgments were predicated upon their respective liabilities under the provision of -Section 710-75, General Code (115 Ohio Laws, 126), as then in effect as stockholders of an insolvent bank. There is a recital in the judgment entry in that cause: ‘ ‘ That as to the judgments rendered against Gilbert Uthoff and Ruth R. Hinsman, the said Gilbert Uthoff is as *121between himself and the said Rnth R. Hinsman the principal, and Ruth R. Hinsman, the surety.”
It will be noted that separate judgments in the same amount were rendered against Uthoff and Hinsman, and that it is prescribed in the judgment entry that it is as to them, and not as between them and the Superintendent of Banks, that the relationship of principal and surety exists.
Under the provisions of Section 710-75, General Code (115 Ohio Laws, 126), in effect at the time the judgment was rendered, Hinsman was liable upon the claim for which the judgments were rendered for such an amount as Uthoff failed to meet on such liability.
Separate judgments having been rendered for such liability, payment by Uthoff of the entire amount owing on such liability was the only manner or method by which Hinsman could be relieved of liability..
The court had jurisdiction of the subject matter and the parties in the action in which the judgments were rendered, so it is immaterial whether the court had authority to render separate judgments, as above set. forth, as error proceedings were not prosecuted from the judgments.
Under the judgments as rendered, the Superintendent. of Banks had authority to enter satisfaction of, and release and discharge either of the separate judgments without releasing or discharging the other, either in terms or by operation of law. The only duty imposed upon the superintendent in such a case was to allow credit on the liability to the extent of the payment made for the release and discharge of such judgment.
This judgment fixed the rights of the parties thereto.
Rutli R. Hinsman was not a party to the compromise agreement thereafter entered info between Gilbert Uthoff and the Superintendent of Banks and such *122agreement does not purport to and did not have the effect of releasing Ruth R. Hinsman from the operation of the judgment or of changing in any way the relationship of principal and surety existing between Uthoff and her as to the judgment. The written instrument of satisfaction of judgment executed pursuant to the compromise agreement and entered upon the journal of the Common Pleas Court in case No. 429875 does not purport to and does not release Ruth R. Hinsman from the operation of the judgment or in any manner affect the relationship of Uthoff and her as principal and surety to the judgment as prescribed therein.
Such instrument of satisfaction of judgment contains a provision: ‘ ‘ That this satisfaction shall not in any way be considered as waiving, releasing or affecting the liability of any person or persons arising out of the ownership of the stock which is the subject matter of the action.”
This provision had the effect of preserving in every respect the judgment against Ruth R. Hinsman which she was thereafter compelled to pay in her capacity as surety to Uthoff as principal.
Having paid said judgment in her capacity as surety, Ruth R. Hinsman is entitled to reimbursement as prayed for in her petition.
For the reasons mentioned the judgment of Common Pleas Court is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
