¶1By the act of 1816, (Clay’s Dig. 357, <§> ,76,)it is provided that “whenever an injunction shall be *94dissolved, damages after the rate of six per centum shall be added to the amount of the judgment, provided the court be of opinion that the injunction was obtained for delay. The act of 1843, gives to the chancellors in vacation, after the defendant had filed his answer, the power to dissolve injunctions, in the same manner as had previously been exercised by the court in term time. Clay’s Dig. 158, § 82. In this ease the injunction was dissolved in vacation, and the cause was afterwards submitted for final trial on the bill and answer alone.
¶2In the case of Crawford v. Bank of Mobile, 5 Ala. R. 55, it is said the damages of six per cent, cannot be allowed unless the facts stated in the bill, are shown to be untrue or evasive, and consequently, when the bill was dismissed for want of equity, a decree allowing damages was reformed in this court; but the case before us is not in this predicament. The defendant has fully answered the bill, denied all the equity, if it contained any, and avers that the bill was filed for delay. We think the conclusion at which the chancellor arrived, that the bill was filed for delay, is warranted by the facts of the case.
¶3Let the decree of the chancery court be affirmed, at the cost of the plaintiff in error.
