Dissenting Opinion

HAMLIN, Justice

(dissenting).

I am compelled to dissent from the majority opinion herein, for the reason that I am convinced that the able maj ority opinion. rendered by the Court of Appeal, Third Circuit, with Judge Preston L. Savoy as its author, 125 So.2d 640, 654, is eminently sound in law and correctly sets at rest the' conflict prevailing, so much so that I shall adopt it as my dissent.
