particular circumstances of the contempt, of which the following is offered as an example:

Whereas, on the ...... day of..

18.., while

engaged in the trial of an action (or other judicial act as
the case may be,) in which A. B was plaintiff and C. D. was
defendant, at my office in
County, M. B. did

wilfully and contemptuously interrupt me, and did then
and there conduct himself so disorderly and insolently
towards me, and by making a loud noise, did disturb the
proceedings on said trial (or other judicial act) and impair
the respect due to the authority of the law; and, on being
ordered by me to cease making such noise and disturbance,
the said M. B, refused so to do, but, on the contrary, did
publicly declare and with loud voice, (state what ever offensive
words were used,) and whereas, when immediately called
upon by me to answer for the said contempt, the said M.
B. did not make any defense thereto, nor excuse himself
therefrom; the said M. B. is therefore convicted of the con-
tempt aforesaid, and is adjudged to pay a fine of five dollars
and be imprisoned in the County jail for the term of two
days, and until he pays such fine, or is duly discharged
from imprisonment according to law.
