Syllabus

<p>An attachment for some two hundred dollars was sued out by A. against personal property of T., who recovered possession of the property by giving a special bail bond, and reconvened against A. for damages on account of the wrongful suing cut of the attachment. The jury found that the property was not subject to be attached, but returned a verdict of one dollar in favor of A., the plaintiff. The district court refused to render any judgment against T.’s sureties on his special bail bond, but rendered judgment against T. for the one dollar found by the jury, and for such of the costs as were not consequent upon the attachment, and taxed against A., the plaintiff, all the costs involved in the attachment proceedings. Held, that the judgment was erroneous. It should have been rendered against the defendant and the sureties on his special bail bond, and for all the costs of the suit as well as the sum found by the jury.</p>
