R. E. Olds and Truman H. Newberry v. Dean Alvord

opinion that the decree of the Circuit Court should be affirmed, while Mr. Justice WHITFIELD, Mr. Justice BROWN and Mr. Justice
BUFORD are of the opinion that the decree 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 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.
