Head Matter:
C. Ferlita, Plaintiff in Error, v. J. S. Jones, Chief of Police, City of Tampa, Defendant in Error.
When a municipal ordinance is not before the court, its invalidity cannot be adjudged.
This case was decided by Division A.
Writ of Error to the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County.
The facts in the case are stated in the opinion of the Court.
T. E. Lucas and Gunby & Gibbons, for Plaintiff in Error.
C. G. Whitaker and W. 3. Ellis, Attorney-General, for Defendant in Error.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
This is a writ of error to a judgment of the Circuit Court of Hillsborough county, remanding to custody the petitioner in a habeas corpus proceeding, instituted to test the validity of a conviction in the municipal court of Tampa, under an ordinance alleged to be in contravention of the Federal Constitution.
The transcript of the record, however, does not present the ordinance for our inspection and it is therefore made impossible for us to determine affirmatively that error has been committed, the judgment must be affirmed. See Freeman v. State, 19 Fla. 552.
Shackleford, C. J., and Cockrell and Whitfield, JJ., concur.
Taylor, P. J., and Hocker and Parkhill, JJ., concur in the opinion.
