Supreme Court of Mississippi.

February 16, 1953.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Hammond & Pope, for appellant.

Geo. H. Ethridge, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.


ROBERDS, P.J.

This is an appeal from an order adjudicating appellant in contempt of court and imposing a fine of fifty dollars and a jail sentence of ten days.

He urges here that the judgment adjudicating him in contempt was void, because no information, or affidavit, charging him with the acts alleged to constitute contempt was made, nor was any notice given him of such proceeding, or any hearing had thereon.
