§ 781. Punishment of misconduct at trial term. Where a misconduct,
which is punishable by fine or imprisonment, as prescribed in this
article, occurs at a trial term, or with respect to a mandate returnable
at such term, and was not punished at the term at which it occurred, the
supreme court may inquire into and punish the misconduct, as if it had
occurred at a special term of the supreme court, held in the same
county, or with respect to a mandate returnable at such a special term.
