*510On March 5th, 1905, the judge of the eighth judicial circuit issued an alternative writ of mandamus commanding the defendants in error, as the county commissioners for Alachua county, Florida, to “issue to the said R. B. Weeks, T. A.'Doke and W. J. Martin, as members of and constituting the board of public instruction for the county of Alachua, State of Florida, a warrant against the funds in the hands of the treasurer of Alachua county, Florida, to the credit of the fine and forfeiture fund of said county for the sum of $13,421.10,” or show cause for not doing so.

The respondents, as county commissioners, moved to quash the alternative writ, on the grounds that: .(1) There are no sufficient parties to the relation; (2) the allegations and statements in said writ are vague, indefinite and contradictory; (3) there is no law imposing upon them the duty of issuing to R. B. Weeks, T. A. Doke and W. J. Martin, as members of and constituting the ■board of public instruction for the county of Alachua, state of Florida, a warrant against the funds in the hands of the treasurer of Alachua county, Florida, to the credit of the fine and forfeiture fund of said county for the sum of $13,421.19; (4) that Chapter 5552, Acts of 1905, is in conflict with Article III and Sections 20 and 21 of said Article JII of the Constitution of Florida, and is null and void; (5) that said Chapter 5552, Acts of 1905, is in conflict with the provisions of Article XII of the Constitution of this state, and is null and void; (6) that said Chapter 5552, Acts of 1905, is in conflict with Section 1, Article IX, of the Constitution of Florida, .and is null and void.

This motion was granted and the alternative writ of mandamus was quashed. The relators took a writ of *511error, and assign as errors the order sustaining the motion and quashing the writ.

The alternative writ alleges “that the county commissioners of said Alachua county, Florida, have not during the past four years levied any tax or assessment on the real and personal property of said Alachua county for the fine and forfeiture fund, except one-half mill on the dollar levied in the year A. D. 1903, and that the money now remaining in the said fine and forfeiture fund was largely, if not entirely, obtained from the money arising from the hire of state convicts and fines and forfeitures arising from convictions .of crime had in the county of Alachua, Florida; that there now is in the hands of the county treasurer of Alachua county, Florida^ to the credit of the fine and forfeiture fund of said county, the sum of $17,421.19, and that the said R. B. Weeks, T. A. Doke and W. J. Martin, as members of and constituting the board of public instruction for the county of Alachua, state of Florida, are entitled to have the sum ¡of $13,421.19 of the funds now in the hands of the county treasurer of Alachua county, Florida, to the credit of the fine and forfeiture fund of said county paid into the school fund of said county, and to have a warrant issued by the county commissioners of said Alachua county to them for the said sum of $13,421.19, and to have the same cashed into the school fund of said Alachua county, Florida.”

It is clear from the above allegations of the alternative writ that the fine and forfeiture fund of the county consisted, at the date of the writ, of money derived from a tax 1 evv, money derived from fines and forfeitures collected, and money derived from the hire of State convicts.

Counsel for the plaintiffs in error in the argument at the bar disclaimed any intention to have the writ cover *512the money as to which the constitutional questions are raised, and stated that the purpose of the writ was to have .only the surplus money derived from the hire of state convicts, and now in the fine and forfeiture fund of the county, transferred to the county school fund, under the act of 1905. The alternative writ, however, includes, besides the surplus money derived from the hire of state convicts, other money in the fine and forfeiture fund of the county. This being so, the order quashing the alternative writ must be affirmed, as the writ of mandamus must be enforced in its entirety, if at all. State ex rel. v. Atlantic Coast Line Ry. Co., 51 Fla. 578, 40 South. Rep. 875.

The order quashing the alternative writ' is affirmed, and the cause is remanded, with leave to amend the alternative writ so as to include only the money derived from the hire of state convicts. Let it be so ordered.
