STATE v. HEARN

99 So.2d 231 (1957)

STATE of Florida ex rel. Horace E. Hill, Relator, v. J.M. HEARN, As County Judge in and for Suwannee County, State of Florida, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Florida.

December 20, 1957.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Adams & Judge, Daytona Beach, for relator.

Frank T. Cannon and Charles A. Powers, Jr., Jacksonville, for respondent.

THORNAL, Justice.

The point involved is whether prohibition will lie to prevent a court of competent jurisdiction from enforcing by way of contempt proceedings an outstanding and unrevoked order of the court involved.

One aspect of this matter was previously before this court. See In re McCollum's Estate, Fla. 1956,
