- Title
CONTEMPT.
- Abstract
The article presents information about contempt of court. The article refers to the case of the United States versus Huff. The case is based on misbehavior so near the court as to obstruct administration of justice. In the provision of Rev. Stat., Sec. 725, and Judicial Code, Sec. 268, limiting the power of federal courts to punish for contempt to "misbehavior in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to obstruct the administration of justice," the second clause is not restricted in meaning to acts committed so near in point of distance to the place of holding court as to be obstructive to orderly procedure, which are covered by the preceding clause as construed by the Supreme Court. However it applies to all acts of misbehavior whose natural tendency and effect are to interfere with the administration of justice, wherever the acts may be committed.
