SUSPENDER, Scotch law. He in whose favor a suspension is made.
2. In general a suspender is required to give caution to pay the debt
in the event it shall be found due. Where the suspender cannot, from his low
or suspected circumstances, procure unquestionable security, the lords admit
juratory caution; but the reasons of suspension are in that case, to be
considered with particular accuracy at passing the bill. Act. S. 8 Nov.
