John W. Shisler, Director of Public Welfare, City of Miami, v. J. Gerry Curtis.
    156 So. 317.
    Opinion Filed July 31, 1934.
    Petition for Rehearing Denied Sept. 5, 1934.
    /. W. Watson, Jr., and G. A. Worley, for Plaintiffs in Error;
    
      E. F. P. Brigham, for Defendant in Error.
   Per Curiam.

In this cause Mr. Chief Justice Davis, Mr. Justice Terrell and Mr. Justice Brown are of the opinion that the judgment in this cause should be affirmed, while Mr. Justice Whitfield, Mr. Justice Ellis and Mr. Justice Buford are of the opinion that the said judgment should be reversed. When 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, 47 Fla. 224, 37 So. R. 51, that the judgment 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.
