Order adjudging appellant in contempt reversed upon the law, with ten dollars costs and disbursements, and motion denied, with ten dollars costs.

Furthermore, the order appealed from fails to specify the facts deemed to constitute a contempt of court. (Matter of Price, 78 Misc. 42; Matter of East River Bank v.
