Syllabus

<p>CONTEMPT-DISOBEYING ORDER FOE REMOVAL OF CHATTEL MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE TO COURT.</p> <p>Where an order is made hy the court, removing the foreclosure of a chattel mortgage into the superior court, and directing the sheriff to return the possession of the property to its owner, the subsequent wilful interference by an agent of the mortgagee with the custody of the property was a violation of the order rendering him guilty of contempt; and the fact that no bond was given by the owner upon the issuance of the order directing the return of the property to him would not excuse compliance with the order, since the court is authorized, under the statute, to make the order as an incident to the jurisdiction assumed by it in the foreclosure proceedings.</p>
