SUPPLEMENTAL OPINION ON DENIAL OF REHEARING Mr. JUSTICE SCOTT delivered the opinion of the court: An opinion in this case was filed by this court on August 12, 1980, which reversed the trial court’s conviction of the defendant. Subsequently, on August 25, 1980, the defendant filed a petition for rehearing in which it is alleged that the court failed to directly address the contention of the defendant that his cash bail deposit may not be used to reimburse the county for the services of the public defender pursuant to section 110—7(g) of the Criminal Code of 1961 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 38, par. 110—7(g)).  This contention of the defendant should have been addressed in the light of our supreme court’s recent decision in People v. Cook (1980), 81 Ill. 2d 176, 407 N.E.2d 56. In Cook our supreme court held section 110 — 7(g) of our Criminal Code of 1961 to be unconstitutional and hence the cash bail deposit posted by the defendant in the instant case should be returned to him, and it is so ordered by this court. As supplemented by this order, the judgment of the Circuit Court of Will County is reversed. Having supplemented the opinion heretofore entered by this court on August 12, 1980, the defendant’s petition for rehearing is denied. Reversed with directions, and petition for rehearing denied. ALLOY, P. J., and STENGEL, J, concur.
