148 So. 755, 110 Fla. 323

• Court: Supreme Court of Florida
• Decided: May 25, 1933
• Status: Published

Opinion

Per Curiam.

In this cause Mr. Justice Terrell, Mr. Justice BrowN and Mr. Justice Buford are of the opinion that the decree of the Circuit Court should be affirmed, while Mr. Chief Justice Davis, Mr. Justice Whitfield and Mr. Justice Ellis are of the opinion that the said decree 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 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.

Affirmed.

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