    Case 8 — PETITION ORDINARY
    Sept. 14.
    Logsden v. Willis.
    APPEAL FROM GRAYSON CIRCUIT COURT.
    1. When an injunction enjoining a judgment is dissolved, and only in such cases, the chancellor is empowered by the Code (sec. 295) immediately to ascertain and render judgment for the damages. In all other cases the remedy is on the injunction-bond.
    CONKLIN & McBEATH for appellant.
    1. When an injunction is dissolved, the party against whom it was obtained must, by motion, have his damages assessed. (Old Code, sec. 325; New Code, sec. 295; Crawford v. Woodworth, 9 Bush, 745.)
    Cr. W. STONE FOR APPELLANT.
    1. As the plaintiff dismissed his petition and injunction before answer, section 295 of the Code has no application to this case. The injunction was not dissolved, it was dismissed by the order dismissing the petition, and therefore no damages could be assessed as provided in said section 295.
   CHIEF JUSTICE PRYOR

delivered the opinion of the court.

By section 295, Civil Code, it will be found that it is only in cases where proceedings on a judgment have been stayed by an injunction that the chancellor immediately, on the dissolution, is empowered to ascertain the damages and to render a judgment for them. In all other cases the remedy is on the injunction-bond. Why the legislature restricted the power of the chancellor to cases only where judgments have been enjoined, is not necessary to determine. The language of the Code is plain and admits of no other construction.

Judgment affirmed.
