## Opinion text

Buford, J.
(dissenting).—I do not think relator is precluded by estoppel to have the compensation due him under valid statutes paid to him—-see Masters v. State, 100 Fla. 1660 , 131 So. 723 ; O'Brien v. Wheelock, 184 U. S. 450 ; 46 L. Ed. 636 . Davis v. Butler, 128 Miss. 847 , 91 So. 279 . So I think demurrer to alternative writ should be overruled.
Brown-, J., concurs.
