Opinions
In this cause Mr. Chief Justice ELLIS, Mr. Justice WHITFIELD and Mr. Justice TERRELL are of the opinion that the judgment of the Trial Court should be affirmed while Mr. Justice BROWN, Mr. Justice BUFORD and Mr. Justice CHAPMAN are of the opinion that the said judgment should be reversed. When the members of the Supreme Court, sitting six members in a body and after full consultation, it appears that the members of the Court are permanently and equally divided in opinion as to whether the judgment should be affirmed or reversed, and there is no prospect of an immediate change in the personnel of the Court, the judgment should be affirmed, therefore it is considered, ordered and adjudged under the authority of State, ex rel. Hampton, v. McClung,
Affirmed.
ELLIS, C.J., and WHITFIELD, TERRELL, BROWN, BUFORD and CHAPMAN, J.J., concur.
