RULES FOR THE DISTRICT COURT
statements in pleading, presenting a state of case which he
knows to be groundless and false, for the purpose of securing a
delay of the trial of the cause, shall be held guilty of a contempt;
and the court, of its own motion, or at the instance of
any party, will direct an inquiry to ascertain the fact.
52. After the court has pronounced its opinion upon a question

submit a statement in writing, which the court will receive and

relation to them, or to their being superseded, is raised, as mentioned

become a part of the record of the cause, and not otherwise.
56. Exceptions to evidence, admitted over objections madd
