Lead Opinion

Per Curiam.

Petition denied as the record does not show bail pending appeal has been denied by the chancellor.

Justice Purtle would grant.



Dissenting Opinion

John I. Purtle, Justice,

dissenting. What kind of relief will the appeal bring even if petitioners prevail? Obviously the ten day jail sentence will have been served long before we decide the case. I submit that there is no adequate form of relief except by this court, unless the trial court on its own initiative grants a stay or bond pending appeal. I would grant a stay of the order of contempt and expedite the briefing schedule.
