In Re White

Proceedings for discovery in the nature of a judgment creditor’s bill (CL 1948, § 634.1 [Stat Ann § 27.2171]) were brought against Ernest White. He and Naomi Jeans were called as witnesses. They were recalled 3 months later for'further examination regarding the same transactions. The testimony at the 2 hearings appeared to be contradictory. -The trial judge directed the judgment creditor’s counsel to ask for an order to show cause why White and Naomi Jeans should not be punished for contempt in wilfully giving false and evasive testimony. See CL 1948, § 605.3 (Stat Ann § 27.-513).
