Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

When the contempt is of such a nature, that when the fact is once acknowledged, the Court cannot receive any further information by interrogatories than it is already possessed of, the defendant may be admitted to make such simple acknowledgment, without answering interrogatories. 4 Black. 287.

On the tenth day the Court directed the sheriff to discharge him, reckoning the fraction of the day of commitment as a whole day.
