Opinion

Per Curiam.

In this cause the Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Ellis and Mr. Justice Strum are of opinion that the decree of the Circuit Court should be reversed. Mr. Justice Whitfield, Mr. Justice Brown arid Mr. Justice Buford are of opinion that said decree should be affirmed. When it appears that the members of the Court are permanently and equally divided in opinion as to whether a decree should be affirmed or reversed, and there is no prospect of an immediate change in the personnel of the Court, the decree should be affirmed; therefore it is considered, ordered and adjudged under the authority of State ex rel. Hampton v. McClung, 47 Fla. 224, 37 So. R. 51, that the decree of the Circuit Court in this cause be and the same is hereby affirmed. -

Terrell, C. J., and Whitfield, Ellis, Strum, Brown and Buford,, J. J., concur.
