70 FEDERAL REPORTER. �and that the amount arrived at as a fine was not proved in a proper way. �Some points are made, on the part of the defendant, -which are taken by him as arising on the face of the proceedings : �(1) It is objected that the order of February 17, 1880, decreesonly "that the defendant isadjudgedto have commit- ted the contempt alleged," without reciting further the ofience of which he is guilty.
