Syllabus

<p>In proceedings before a circuit or county judge to commit certain minors to the guardianship of the State Reform School under Section 9, Chapter 5388, Acts of 1903, where there is no finding by the court that the minor is a proper person for the guardianship of the State Reform School, “in consequence of incorrigible and vicious conduct,” a judgment that the minor “is a suitable person to be committed to the Florida State Reform School” is insufficient to support a commitment, and a discharge may be secured on habeas corpus.</p>
