H. J. Cason v. U. B. Quinby

WHITFIELD, C. J. -- The circuit court on habeas corpus discharged Quinby from the custody of the Chief of Police under a sentence of the Mayor's Court for violating an ordinance of the city of Lake City in which it is provided ""that traveling salesmen or dealers who shall bargain or sell any goods, wares or mechandise * * * for cash or by sample, or any other manner, for present or future delivery within the corporate limits of the said city, shall pay a license of two hundred dollars."" On writ of error allowed by the trial judge under the statute, it is contended that the petitioner was erroneously discharged.
