The plaintiff, in the action of Saunders v. Webber, obtained a temporary injunction and executed the undertaking in suit, and on the hearing of the cause the District Court, by its decree, ordered that, the injunction be made perpetual. On appeal to this Court, the decree was reversed and the cause was remanded for a new trial, and afterwards the cause 'was dismissed by the District Court, for want of prosecution. The condition of the undertaking is that the makers will pay “ such damages * * * as such parties may sustain by reason of such injunction, if said Court finally decides that said plaintiff was not entitled thereto.”
The question now presented is whether the plaintiffs can recover on the bond, the amount paid for costs, accruing after the decree of the District Court making the injunction perpetual, and for attorney’s fees for services rendered after that time.
The undertaking does not, in terms, provide for any damages accruing after the preliminary order for an injunction has ceased to be operative; and, in fact, the undertaking is coextensive, in point of time, with the ordei;. When the decree for a perpetual injunction was rendered, the order for a preliminary injunction was merged, or ceased to have any further effect, and thereafter the case stood in the same condition in respect to damages as it would have done had no preliminary order been made.

Judgment reversed, and cause remanded for a new trial.
