Description

WHITFIELD, C. J. -- Stinson was arrested upon a warrant issued by the County Judge of St. Lucie County charging a violation by him on October 9, 1911, of Section 1 of Chapter 5973 Acts of 1909, by unlawfully taking fish with a haul seine in the waters of St. Lucie County, to-wit: in Indian River, said river being salt water and situated within twenty miles west of the Atlantic coast and north of Biscayne Bay. On habeas corpus proceedings before the Circuit Judge the accused was remanded to the custody of the sheriff. A writ of error was allowed and taken and it is contended here that Chapter 5973 is unconstitutional because (1) it denies to the citizens of Florida the equal protection of the laws; (2) it is in conflict with section 1, of the Declaration of Rights of the State Constitution; (3) it violates sections 16, 20 and 21 of Article 3 of the constitution.
