Petitioner urges its entitlement to review by a common law writ of certiorari of a judgment rendered by the circuit court sitting as an appellate court in a direct appeal from the county court. To prevail, petitioner must demonstrate a departure from the essential requirements of law, Kennington v. Gillman, Fla.App. 1973, 284 So.2d 405, which the record does not demonstrate. There was competent substantial evidence upon which to predicate a finding that petitioner was negligent in the care and handling of respondent’s golf clubs and that no theft occurred.

Accordingly, the writ of certiorari is denied.
