Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Damages — Attachment of Money — Loss of Profits — Injury to Credit. In an action to recover damages for the wrongful attachment of money and notes by way of garnishment, where there is no malice nor grounds for the recovery of exemplary damages, the measure of damages is interest on the money and notes during the time they were held under the garnishment process and the necessary expenses incurred in regaining possession of the property. Neither the loss of prospective profits in the general business of the owner because a part of his property was garnished nor injury to his credit are elements of damage.</p>
