Syllabus

<p>When a jury find merely that an attachment was wrongfully sued out, they are not warranted in allowing defendant’s attorneys fees as part of the damages. But had the finding been that the attachment was sued out maliciously and without probable cause, such fees would have been allowable as part of the defendant’s damages.</p>
