In this cause Mr. Chief Justice Buford, Mr. Justice Ellis and Mr. Justice Davis are of opinion that the decree of the Circuit Court should be affirmed while Mr. Justice Whitfield, Mr. Justice Terrell and Mr. *Page 1197 
Justice Brown are of opinion that the decree should be reversed. When the members of the Supreme Court are 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 vs. McClung, 47 Fla. 224, 37 So.2d Rep. 51, that the decree of the Circuit Court in this cause be and the same is hereby affirmed.
BUFORD, C.J., AND WHITFIELD, ELLIS, TERRELL, BROWN AND DAVIS, J.J., concur.
                          ON REHEARING.                  AMENDED ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE.
