Woodward v. Dashiell
Woodward v. Dashiell
Opinion of the Court
delivered thé opinion of the court.
We have been requested to review our judgment in this case, and it has appeared to us proper to alter and. amend it.
In the present case the injunction was dissolved, although was ptopeily obtained. In such cases the party should not be mulcted in damages, because the dissolution takes place for the sole purpose of avoiding unnecessary costs and delay In bringing the suit to a conclusion, and the party benefited thereby, cannot expect us to give damages; for if we were compelled to do so, we would sustain the injunction, and require him to begin anew.
Amending our former judgment in this case, it is ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the judgment of the District Court be annulled, avoided and reversed; and proceeding to give such judgment as in our opinion ought to have been given in the court below, it is further ordered and decreed, that the injunction be dissolved with costs; those of the appeal to be borne by the appellee.
