The payment may be made by the real debtor and other persons from whom the creditor has a right to demand it ;
an agent may make payment for his principal ;
and any mode of payment by the agent ,
accepted and received as such by the creditor ,
as an absolete payment will have the effect to discharge the principal ,
whether known or unknown ,
and whether it be in the usual course of business or not .
If ,
for example ,
a factor or other agent should be employed to purchase goods for his principal ,
or should be entrusted ,
with money to be paid for him ,
and ,
instead of receiving the money ,
the creditor or seller should take the note of the factor or agent ;
payable at a future day ,
as an absolute payment ,
the principal would be discharged from the debt .

In the payment of mortgages ,
it is a20rule ,
that the personal estate shall be applied to discharge them when made by the testator or intestate himself ,
to secure the payment of a debt due by him ,
because the personal estate was benefited by the money borrowed ;
and it makes no difference whether the mortgaged lands have been devised ,
or come to the heir by descent .

The testator may ,
however ,
exempt the personal estate from the payment ,
and substitute the real in its place .
But when the mortgage was not given by the deceased ,
but be acquired the real estate subject to it ,
it never was his debt ,
and therefore his personal estate is not bound to pay the mortgage debt ,
but it must be paid by the real estate .

A single payment may discharge several debts ;
as ,
for example if Peter be indebted to Paul one thousand dollars ,

Paul give an order to Peter to pay Tames this money ;
the payment made by Peter to James discharges both the obligations due by Peter to Paul ,
and by Paul to James .

This rule ,
that a payment made in order to acquit or discharge an obligation ,
extinguishes the other obligations which have the same object ,
takes place also when there are several debtors as regards the whole of them .
If ,
for example ,
Peter trust Paul on the credit of James ,
a payment by Paul discharges both himself and James .

But in case money or other things have been delivered to a person who was supposed to be entitles to them as a creditor ,
when he was not ,
this is not a payment ,
and the whole ,
if nothing was due ,
or if the debt was less than the amount paid ,
the surplus ,
may be recovered in action for money bad and received .
