Lots No. 1685 v. Town of Defuniak Springs , 127 Fla. 348 ( 1937 )

In this cause Mr. Chief Justice ELLIS and Mr. Justice BROWN and Mr. Justice BUFORD are of the opinion that the Decree of the Circuit Court should be reversed for further appropriate proceedings while Mr. Justice WHITFIELD, Mr. Justice TERRELL and Mr. Justice DAVIS are of the opinion that the Decree 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 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.

ELLIS, C.J., and WHITFIELD, TERRELL, BROWN, BUFORD and DAVIS, J.J., concur.
