    William L. Brooks v. State
    190 So. 261
    En Banc
    Opinion Filed June 30, 1939
    
      Roger Edward Davis and Joe Brown, for Plaintiff in Error.
    
      George Couper Gibbs, Attorney General, Thomas J. Ellis, Assistant Attorney General, Robert R. Taylor and Thomas H. Anderson, for Defendant in Error.
   Per Curiam. —

In this cause Mr. Chief Justice Terrell, Mr. Justice Brown and Mr. Justice Thomas are of opinion that the Judgment of the Circuit Court should be affirmed while Mr. Justice Whitfield, Mr. Justice Buford and Mr. Justice Chapman are of 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, 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., and Whitfield, Brown, Buford, Chapman and Ti-iomas, J. J., concur.
