    State of Florida, ex rel., Frank Paiker v. D. C. Coleman, as Sheriff of Dade County, Florida.
    3 So. (2nd) 733
    Division B
    Opinion Filed September 5, 1941
    
      
      Henry R. Carr and Carr & Carr, for Relators.
    
      J. Tom Watson, Attorney General, Joseph E. Gillen and Woodrow M. Melvin, Assistants Attorney General, for Respondent.
   Terrell, J.

On a rule nisi in contempt, Relator was committed to the Sheriff of Dade County for failure to pay certain costs in the nature of an attorney’s fee awarded against him. In habeas corpus, he charges that the judgment committing him to the Sheriff is void and non enforceable for indefiniteness as to term.

The judgment has been examined and the assault on it found to be well predicated. The petitioner is accordingly discharged an authority of State, ex rel., Bearden v. Pearson, 132 Fla. 878, 182 So. 233, but without prejudice to the Circuit Court to enter a judgment in compliance with law.

It is so ordered.

Whitfield, acting C. J., Chapman and Thomas, J. J., concurring.

Brown, C. J., absent, not participating.
