OPINION

PER CURIAM.

Since his conviction of the offense of robbery under Chapter 13792, Acts of 1929, the Petitioner has been before this Court three times. See Jones v. State, 122 Fla. 307, 165 So. 33; Jones v. Mayo, 126 Fla. 523, 171 So. 312; Jones v. State, 130 Fla. 645, 178 So. 404. He now appears here on writ of error to the Circuit Court of Union County to review the order of that Court holding his petition for writ of habeas corpus insufficient and denying the writ.

The record has been examined and the assignments of error are found to be without merit.

So the judgment is affirmed.
