Supreme Court of Florida
State Ex Rel. Williams v. Albritton, 194 So. 315 (Fla. 1939)

State Ex Rel. Williams v. Albritton
Opinion of the Court
This case is before us on petition for writ of habeas corpus.
It is contended that the judgment and sentence is void because an item of cost was assessed against the defendant which he could not lawfully be required to pay. If the costs assessed were not within the legal amounts assessable, the defendant had remedy by appeal to contest the alleged illegal items and, if in reviewing the judgment and disposing of the issues the circuit court departed from the essential requirements of the law, the defendant had his remedy by certiorari to this Court.
The petition does not show that petitioner has served that part of the sentence legally imposed upon him.
Petition is denied.
So ordered.
