guilty OF contempt and also from order denying

defendants punishment. In addition requiring
him to Sf73 Is to cover the expenses, the order
directed further that the defendant be confined in
the County Jail for a period of ten days. This
we do not think the court had power to do.
The opinion then goes on to say that Brice's con-
tempt consisted in failure obey a writ of man
darpus compelling him to vote for the issuance or
certain stocks. and that the writ served on
him the day he voted and that as his contempt
consisted in omission TO perform act which

tended that the charge that Section 35l of the
Penal Code was violated unsustained by the
evidence. Nor did the prosecution point out what
particular crime had been committed by the appel

teen different offences. and it was therefore not
too much to ask the prosecuting officer to place his
finger on the particular crime.
