<p>Contract — Agreement to go security to release attachment — Damages.</p> <p>An action may be maintained for the breach of an agreement to enter security to release an attachment; and if there has been an unreasonable delay in entering the security, and the defendant in the attachment has been injured thereby, the latter is not entitled to punitive, remote or speculative damage, but only such damages as are fairly or reasonably to be considered as arising from the natural and proximate consequences of the facts made known at the time of the making of the contract.</p>
