State of Florida, ex rel., Jack Stillman, in Error v. R. E. Merritt, as Sheriff of Duval County, in Error

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida affirmed the circuit court's judgment in a habeas corpus petition because the bill of exceptions was not properly certified, having been filed after the court term had expired. The Court held that without an authentically prepared and certified bill of exceptions, it could not review the lower court's decision.
