When a defendant in a judgment or his surety mistakenly directs an execution issued on the judgment to be levied on property not liable to execution, and thereby wholly or partially satisfies the judgment, he may be compelled to pay the owner of the property therefor. Thereafter, he shall have the same rights against any codefendant in the judgment and against any cosurety or principal in respect of the debts on which the judgment is founded as though the satisfaction had been made out of the property of the defendant or surety directing the levy.
