On the contrary, the plaintiff insista that under the statute he is entitled to recover the costs and dis- bursements adjudged to him in the former action, whether on account of the action itself or the attachaient therein. In support of his position, counsel for defendants cites Norton V, Cammach, 10 La. An. 10, in whieh it was held that a surety on a sequestration bond is only liable for such ex- penses as are incident to the sequestration and release ; and White v.Wyley, 17 Ala. 167, cited in Drake on Attachments, § 176, to the same effect.

Neither is there any provision authorizing the taxation and recovery of disbursements upon an attachment before, or otherwise, than upon the final judgment in the action, and therefore if the attachment should be discharged, upon the application of ��� �
