CONTEMPT, § 76penalty for violation of orders which cannot be upheld as to one, power to enter order imposing. Order adjudging defendant guilty of contempt of court and imposing penalty for failure to comply with orders for production of books and records could not stand where there was no rule to show cause or request therefor against defendant as to second order and consequently there was no basis for adjudging him guilty of contempt for failure to comply with that order, especially where plaintiff, upon petition and answer, did not sustain burden of proof as to alleged failure to comply with first order.
