debtor, contracts. one who owes a debt; he who may be constrained to pay 
what he owes. 
     2. a debtor is bound to pay his debt personally, and all the estate he 
possesses or may acquire, is also liable for his debt. 
     3. debtors are joint or several; joint, when they all equally owe the 
debt in solido; in this case if a suit should be necessary to recover the 
debt, all the debtors must be sued together or, when some are dead, the 
survivors must be sued, but each is bound for the whole debt, having a right 
to contribution from the others; they are several, when each promises 
severally to pay the whole debt; and obligations are generally binding on 
both or all debtors jointly and severally. when they are severally bound 
each may be sued separately, and on the payment of debt by one, the others 
will be bound to contribution, where all had participated in the money or 
property, which was the cause of the debt. 
     4. debtors are also principal and surety; the principal debtor is bound 
as between him and his surety to pay the whole debt. and if the surety pay 
it, he will be entitled to recover against the principal. vide bouv. inst.
