at the command of the Court, to rise while the

Contempt proceeded to address him

M. Pollard rose and said. "Mr Registrar

I am addressed by the officer of the

Court and not by the bench to rise

and stand while the Court addresses me

I seek to know in what capacity I

am to look upon

myself at this moment, whether as a member of the Bar or

I wish to add that

a defendant.

'I do this without any disrespect to the

Court - But the question although

I may be

wrong

because of this it

affects my rights and

rights and position.

Answer - (read by the Registrar but

written by the Chief Justice) As a person guilty of contempt of Court whose

offence

is much greater because you

are a

Barrister at Law and an

officer of this Court.
