RULING in PLANT
BOARD GIVEN
BY JUDGE TODAY
MERLIN ROBERTS CHARGED
WITH CONTEMPT IN AcTI-
VITlES is FINED: JURIST
EXPLAINS STATUS OF LAW

Judge Jefferson B. Browne
this morning issued an order on
rule nisi in the matter of the
state plant board versus Merlin
Roberts, charged with contempt
of court for violating the courts
injunction restraining citizens
from interfering with, preventing
or obstructing the agents of the
state plant board from spraying
the trees on his premises.
The defendant is ordered to
pay fine of $40 for such con-
tempt "and if the same is not
paid by twelve o'clock M. Tues
day, February 18th, to be con-
fined in the county Jail for TWEEN
Iy-1our hours.
In issuing his order Judge
Browne pointed out that ''the
legislature, whether wisely or not.
has conferred upon the state
plant board so constituted, auto
cratic and despotic powers which
they may in individual instances
exercise to the detriment and in
convenience of the public" With
that the courts have nothing to
do.
"The legislature makes the
laws, and the courts enforce
them." He points out that three
judges of the Eleventh Judicial
Circuit granted the state plant
board perpetual injunction en-
joining the respondent, Merlin
Roberts and other persons named
in the injunction, from interfer-
ing with the plant board and re-
fusing to permit them to enter
their premises for the purpose of
spraying or otherwise treating
trees. bushes, shrubbery and 9TH
er plants"
The order shows that an in
junction of the court has all the
solemnity of the law, and the vio-
lation of an injunction may be
punished by the court without the
Intervention of a trial jury.
After careful consideration of
the pleadings in the case the
court is satisfied that "Merlin
Roberts did violate the injunction
and is therefore guilty of con-
tempt"
Believing. however, that Mr..
Roberts and his wife acted under
mistaken idea of their rights.
the judge announced he would not
impose long Jail sentence nor
heavy fine for this first violation
of the injunction, because the
court believes that the penalty
imposed will act as a deterrent
upon others from violating the
injunction.
"Leniency in this instance,
however, is no indication of what
the. court will do to others named
in the injunction for interfering
with agents of the state plant
board" and the penalty may be
more severe unless that in the
present case has a salutary effect
on others.
Others named in violation of
the injunction and summoned to
appear before the Judge are: Mr.,
and Mrs. Sullie Ochandarena,
100 Angela street; Mr.. and Mrs.
j. Carlyle Roberts. 625 Francis
street; Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson Lowe.
822 Francis street.
The case of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ochandarena is set for hearing
Monday; that of Mr.. and Mrs.
Lowe for Wednesday and of Mr..
and Mrs. Roberts. Friday.
