(815 ILCS 115/4) (from Ch. 17, par. 608)
Sec. 4.
Whenever the drawer or endorser of an accepted bill of exchange or
the endorser or guarantor of a promissory note shall have been joined with
the acceptor of the bill or the maker of the note
in an action to enforce
the collection thereof, and judgment has been entered
against such
drawer, endorser or guarantor who thereafter pays the
same, the person
so paying shall be entitled to have the judgment released as to him, but
the same shall, at his option, stand and may be enforced under
the order of the court against any other party thereto who remains liable
to the party paying as upon the bill or note, for the reimbursement of the
party so paying. If there is any contest as to such liability the court may
order an issue to be made up between the contesting parties, which shall be
summarily determined as the court may direct.
