Such 2 fine shall be paid to the United States or to the complain3 ant or other party injured by the act constituting the con4 tempt, or may, where more than one is so damaged, be 5 divided or apportioned among them as the court may direct, 6 but in no case shall the fine to be paid to the United States 7 exceed, in case the accused is a natural person, the sum of 8 $1,000, nor shall such imprisonment exceed the term of six 9 months. .10 SEC. 21. That the evidence taken upon the trial of any 11 person so accused may be preserved by bill of exceptions, and 12 any judgment of conviction may be reviewed upon writ of 13 error in all respects as now provided by law in criminal cases, 14 and may be affirmed, reversed, or modified as justice may re15 quire.

SEC. 23. That no proceeding for contempt shall be 7 instituted against any person unless begun within one year 8 from the date of the act complained of; nor shall any such 9 proceeding be a bar to any criminal prosecution for the same 10 act or acts; but nothing herein contained shall affect any 11 proceedings in contempt pending at the time of the passage 12 of this act.
