Text

In an action on such bond, the plaintiff therein may recover, if the plaintiff shows that
the attachment was wrongfully sued out, and that there was no reasonable cause to believe
the ground upon which the same was issued to be true, the actual damages sustained, and
reasonable attorney’s fees to be fixed by the court; and if it be shown such attachment was
sued out maliciously, the plaintiff may recover exemplary damages, nor need the plaintiff
wait until the principal suit is determined before suing on the bond.
