The judges have power to punish summarily any " contempt of Court," with fine or imprison- ment. Under this term are included all insulting attacks on the judges or the officers of the Court, and also all adverse comments published while the proceedings are pending, abusing either of the parties or his witnesses before the cause can be heard on its merits. Latterly the tendency of our Courts has been to discourage all application for committal, 198 THE LAW OF LIBEL vi where only a technical con...tempt of Court has been committed, which did no real harm to the complainant. But any deliberate attempt to prejudice the mind of the public against the plaintiff or his witnesses, or to prevent or obstruct the fair trial of the action, will certainly be punished. I was counsel recently in such a case : The Birmingham Vinegar Brewery Company v. Henry, 1894, 10 Times L.E. 586. There the plaintiffs, who were vinegar manufacturers, complained of a libellous article which had appeared in the defendant's journal in December 1893, which denounced the vinegar supplied by the plaintiffs as impure, and alleged that a shopkeeper at Bridlington had been prosecuted under the Adulteration Act and convicted for selling it as pure malt vinegar.
