A debtor liable to contribution is not responsible upon a contract ,
but is so in equity .
But courts of common law ,
in modern times ,
have assumed a jurisdiction to compel contribution among sureties ,
in the absence of any positive contract ,
on the ground of an implied assumpsit ,
and each of the sureties may be sued for his respective quota or proportion .
