Section 10

SEC. 10. Upon the application of any member of said Board to any Court of First Instance, or to any judge of the Supreme Court, a subpoena may lie issued directing any person in the Philippine Islands to appear as a witness before said Board and to produce for the inspection of the Board, or any member thereof, any books, papers, documents, hitters, or other records or things in his possession. Any witness failing to obey such subpoena shall be liable to punishment by the Supremo Court, or the Court of First Instance, as the case may be, in the same manner and to the same extent as if he had disobeyed a subpoena issued out of the Supreme Court or the Court of First Instance in a matter pending before either of said courts.
