1876, ch. 224.

74. If any person against whom an injunction has been
issued shall violate the same after service thereof, or shall
permit or connive at the violation thereof by any other person,
the court, on notice of such violation, may issue attachment for
contempt against such person; and if on proof the party be
adjudged guilty of the contempt, he may be fined or imprisoned,
or both, in the discretion of the court.

Ibid. sec. 64. 1860, art. 61, sec. 52. 1785, ch. 72, sec. 28. 1876, ch. 224.
76. If the violation complained of be waste after injunction
to stay waste, the court shall ascertain the damage done by the
waste, by affidavit, or such other proof, as the court may judge
necessary, and may fine the defendant to the extent of double
the damage done and so ascertained; and if the violation be
the transfer of monies, property, or choses in action, after
injunction forbidding such transfer, in addition to the attach-
ment against the defendant, a summons shall go for the
assignee, if he be known; and if it appear that such assignee
had knowledge of such injunction, at the time of accepting the
transfer, or possession of property, or choses in action, he also
shall be held in contempt, and no title shall be deemed to have
passed to him, and he may be required to surrender to the
court, on its order, the property, money, or choses in action, of
which he has become possessed; but if the purchaser, taker or
assignee, be innocent of contempt, his title, if otherwise good,
shall be protected; and the court shall take proof of the value
of such property, money, or choses in action, disposed of, or
assigned; and the fine in all cases provided for in this section
shall remain to the credit of the cause in which the injunction
issued, and in the event of final judgment in favor of the party
injured, so much thereof as the court may adjudge shall go to
him, and the remainder go as other fines do; and the court
may imprison for non-compliance with their order to pay such
fine, and may issue execution, in the name of the State, for its
collection.
