Campbell v. Siegler
Campbell v. Siegler
Opinion of the Court
This writ brings up for review a judgment of the Juvenile ‘Court of Essex county adjudging the prosecutor in contempt
The prosecutor says that the proceedings should be set aside because there is no record of the order of the court for failure to obey which he is said to be in contempt. This is entirely without merit because the return to the writ shows there was such an order.
He next urges that the judgment of contempt should be set aside because he was never served with any written order of the court which it is said he disobeyed. But this is also without merit, because he was present, in court, at the time such order was made and he does not claim tha't he was without knowledge of it but simply that he was not formally served with a copy thereof.
He then urges that the judgment should be set aside because the court below lost control of the matter on February 17th, 1931, by adjourning the cause without day.
We also find this to be without merit. Prosecutor had notice of the proceeding, appeared and defended by counsel.
Finally prosecutor urges a setting aside of the proceedings because, he says, there is no proper docket entry of them. This is not the fact. The record shows a very exact and complete docket entry of the proceedings.
We conclude that the proceedings under review should be affirmed and the writ dismissed, with costs.
