Harry MINOR, Appellant, v. Allen HEIMBACH, Appellee.
    No. 63-186.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida. Third District.
    Oct. 29, 1963.
    Ralph E. Stayer, Miami, for appellant.
    McDonald & McDonald and George C. Vogelsang, Miami, for appellee.
    Before BARKDULL, C. J., and HORTON and HENDRY, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The appellant takes this appeal from a “supplemental order of contempt”, sentencing him to jail for a period of 60 days “or until the sum of $817.05 is paid to the plaintiff.”

It appears that the sum of $817.05 is based upon an award in a workmen’s compensation case. This action was commenced by appellee-plaintiff pursuant to § 440.24, F.S.A., to enforce payment of compensation due him by virtue of that award.

We are satisfied that the appealed order violates § 55.14, F.S.A. and therefore must be, and is hereby, reversed.

Reversed. 
      
      . “§ 55.14 Executions; capias ad sat-isfaciendum abolished
      “In no case shall a capias ad satis-faciendum be issued upon a judgment, nor shall the body of any defendant be subject to arrest or confinement for the payment of money, except it be for fines imposed by lawful authority.”
