Chapman, J.

(dissenting) — I dissent from the majority opinion filed in this case for the reasons expressed in my dissenting opinion in American Bakeries Company v. City of Haines City filed March 16, 1938. I think the rule expressed in Sanders v. Howell, 73 Fla. 563, 74 So. 803, should control and the petitioner should be remanded to custody.
