A committee of the Mississippi Slegislature investigated the re port that the Chancellor lined a Mrs. Miles $25 for contempt of court when she cla',ned an in n justice had been done her in con nection with a case in which both d she and her husband sought pos .e session of a babe ten months old. The sheriff was ordered to il take the child from its mother's wr arms and give it to the father, 1e but the next day it was restored re to the mother. Chancellor Scored by Legis 3. lators. ". "If criticisms of judges for in ,' justice, by litigants and citizens, >f tho uttered not in open court, or i. in the presence of the court, rt shall be construed as "contempt le uous," then God pity the people. e- Courts should not only be ad is ministered and controlled by law, )r but reason and justice should s. have some ulace. It is our opin te ion that Chancellor Whitman ser 0o iously erred in the administra g tion of this punishment to Mrs. n Miles, and we hope that he, nor no other judge or chancellor, may rI ever repeat the error."
