Head Matter:
ROYAL-GLOBE INSURANCE COMPANIES, Petitioner, v. INDIAN RIVER GAS COMPANY, a Florida corporation et al., Respondents.
No. T-394.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Aug. 16, 1973.
Kim C. Hammond, of Green & Strasser, Daytona Beach, for petitioner.
Edna L. Caruso, of Howell, Kirby, Montgomery, D’Aiuto, Dean & Hallowes, West Palm Beach, for respondents.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This petition for a writ of certiorari seeks review of a Cost Judgment in which respondents were awarded $259.00 for attorneys fees and travel costs.
We have examined the record on appeal and the briefs filed by the parties, and it is our conclusion that petitioner has failed to demonstrate that the lower court acted in excess of its jurisdiction in awarding said costs to defendants below. Troutman Enterprises, Inc. v. Robertson, 273 So.2d 11 (Fla.App. 1st, 1973); Goldstein v. Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, 142 So.2d 115 (Fla.App. 3rd, 1962). Accordingly, the petition for a writ of certiorari is denied.
JOHNSON and SPECTOR, JJ., concur.
WIGGINTON, Acting C. J., dissents.
