CLAIM AIN ERROR
in THE DECISION
Burlington Rendering Company Asks for
Stay of Execution in Its Contempt
\ Case.

Burlington, Dec 2s.-Claiming that
the county court made an error in ad
Judging the Consolidated Rendering com
pany guilty Of contempt, for which a
fine Of SO 1000 was imposed, the com
|pany have filed with the county clerk
"a petition for write OF error. The
case Is returnabIe at the coming session
Of the supreme court. which conyenes in
Montpelier on January s, 1907. The
company asks that the execution in the
ease be stayed pending final disposition
Of the proceedings in error before the
supreme court.
The grounds on which the petition il
based follow;
First Because the report 81 the grand
jury of record in the contempt proceed
ings and the affidavit Of the general
counsel for said company sufficiently
show that the papers in question, II pro-
duced, would tend to incriminate said
company and would render II liable 10
criminal prosecution, and the eonstitu-
tional privilege not to incriminate itself
was duly claimed BY the company.
Second Because the statutes Of Ver-
mont. act Of 1906. entitled, An act to
compel the production of books and pa
pers by corporations. under and by vir-
tue of which the court was acting, was
unconstitutional and void. and the court
was without jurisdiction.
Third Because il oycrruled the mo-
tion TO dismiss filed by the said COM
pany.
Fourth Because II does not appear
that the papers in question, If produced,
would have been legally admissible in
evidence before the grand jury
Fifth--Because no proper or sufficient
notice To produce was given to said
company on which contempt proceedings
could properly be instituted
