2. By the Constitution of the United States, each house of congress may
determine the rules of its proceeding's, punish its members for disorderly
behaviour, and, with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member. The same
provision is substantially contained in the constitutions of the several
states.
3. The power to make rules carries that of enforcing them, and to
attach persons who violate them, and punish them for contempts. This power
of punishing for contempts, is confined to punishment during the session of
the legislature, and cannot extend beyond it; 6 Wheat. R. 204, 230, 231 and,
it seems this power cannot be exerted beyond imprisonment.
4. Courts of justice have an inherent power to punish all persons for
contempt of their rules and orders, for disobedience of their process, and
for disturbing them in their proceedings. Bac. Ab. Courts and their
jurisdiction in general, E; Rolle's Ab. 219; 8 Co. 38 11 Co. 43 b.; 8 Shepl.
550; 5 Ired. R. 199.
5. In some states, as in Pennsylvania, the power to punish for
contempts is restricted to offences committed by the officers of the court,
or in its presence, or in disobedience of its mandates, orders, or rules;
but no one is guilty of a contempt for any publication made or act done out
of court, which is not in violation of such lawful rules or orders, or
disobedience of its process. Similar provisions, limiting the power of the
courts of the United States to punish for contempts, are incorporated in the
Act March 2, 1831. 4 Sharsw. cont. of Stor. L. U. S. 2256. See Oswald's
Case, 4 Lloyd's Debates, 141,. et seq.
6. When a person is in prison for a contempt, it has been decided in
New York that he cannot be discharged by another judge, when brought before
him on a habeas corpus; and, according to Chancellor Kent, 3 Com. 27, it
belongs exclusively to the court offended to judge of contempts, and what
amounts to them; and no other court or judge can, or ought to undertake, in
a collateral way, to question or review an adjudication of a contempt made
by another competent jurisdiction.
This way be considered as the established doctrine equally in England
as in this country. 3 Wils. 188 14 East, R. 12 Bay, R. 182 6 Wheat. R. 204 7
Wheat. R. 38; 1 Breese, R. 266 1 J. J. Marsh. 575; Charlt. R. 136; 1 Blackf.
1669 Johns. 395 6 John. 337.

Contemptibility
(gcide) | Contemptibility \Con*tempt`i*bil"i*ty\, n.
The quality of being contemptible; contemptibleness. --Speed.
[1913 Webster] |
Contemptible
(gcide) | Contemptible \Con*tempt"i*ble\, a.
1. Worthy of contempt; deserving of scorn or disdain; mean;
vile; despicable. --Milton.
[1913 Webster]
The arguments of tyranny are ascontemptible as its
force is dreadful. --Burke.
[1913 Webster]
2. Despised; scorned; neglected; abject. --Locke.
[1913 Webster]
3. Insolent; scornful; contemptuous. [Obs.]
[1913 Webster]
If she should make tender of her love, 't is very
possible he 'll scorn it; for the man . . . hath a
contemptible spirit. --Shak.
Syn: Despicable; abject; vile; mean; base; paltry; worthless;
sorry; pitiful; scurrile. See Contemptuous.
Usage: Contemptible, Despicable, Pitiful, Paltry.
Despicable is stronger than contemptible, as despise
is stronger than contemn. It implies keen
disapprobation, with a mixture of anger. A man is
despicable chiefly for low actions which mark his
life, such as servility, baseness, or mean adulation.
A man is contemptible for mean qualities which
distinguish his character, especially those which show
him to be weak, foolish, or worthless. Treachery is
despicable, egotism is contemptible. Pitiful and
paltry are applied to cases which are beneath anger,
and are simply contemptible in a high degree.
[1913 Webster] |
Contemptibleness
(gcide) | Contemptibleness \Con*tempt"i*ble*ness\, n.
The state or quality of being contemptible, or of being
despised.
[1913 Webster] |

haughty; insolent; disdainful.
[1913 Webster]
A proud, contemptuous behavior. --Hammond.
[1913 Webster]
Savage invective and contemptuous sarcasm. --Macaulay.
[1913 Webster]
Rome . . . entertained the most contemptuous opinion of
the Jews. --Atterbury.
Syn: Scornful; insolent; haughty; disdainful; supercilious;
insulting; contumelious.
Usage: Contemptuous, Contemptible. These words, from
their similarity of sound, are sometimes erroneously
interchanged, as when a person speaks of having "a
very contemptible opinion of another." Contemptible is
applied to that which is the object of contempt; as,
contemptible conduct; acontemptible fellow.
Contemptuous is applied to that which indicates
contempt; as, a contemptuous look; a contemptuous
remark; contemptuous treatment. A person, or whatever
is personal, as an action, an expression, a feeling,
an opinion, may be either contemptuous or
contemptible; a thing may be contemptible, but can not
be contemptuous.
[1913 Webster] |
Contemptuously

In a contemptuous manner; with scorn or disdain;
