ADS CHULER, Circuit Judge.

The writ of error is prosecuted from an order of the District Court finding plaintiff in error guilty of contempt of court, through his violation of the terms of a temporary injunction order made November 26, 1920, restraining him from conducting or permitting a public nuisance upon the premises described, pursuant to a bill and affidavits filed under the provisions of the Volstead Act (41 Stat. 305). Most of the questions raised have been considered and disposed of by this court in the recently decided case of Lewinsohn v. United States, 278 Fed. 421.
