	Legal Definition of Contribution
		CONTRIBUTION - A partition by which the creditors of an insolvent debtor divide among themselves the proceeds of his property proportionably to the amount of their respective credits.
		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.
		Contribution takes place in another case; namely, when in order to save a ship or cargo a part of the goods are cast overboard, the ship and cargo are liable to contribution in order to indemnify the owner of the goods lost, except his just proportion.
