Opinion:
Per Curiam.
In this cause Mr. Chief Justice Terrell, Mr. Justice Wi-iitfield and Mr. Justice Ci-iapman are of the opinion that the judgment of the circuit court should be reversed, while Mr. Justice Brown, Mr. Justice Buford and Mr. Justice Thomas are of the opinion that the judgment should be affirmed. 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 said judgment 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 judgment of the circuit court in this cause be and the same is hereby affirmed.
Affirmed.
Terrell, C. J., Wi-iitfield, Brown, Buford, Chapman and Thomas, J. J., concur.
