The opinion
THOMAS, J.
(concurring).
I concur in much that Mr. Justice GARDNER has said, yet I prefer to limit my concurrence to the result. I have heretofore adverted to the construction that should be given, or the meaning of sections 612, 672, of the Code, and find no necessity to repeat the same. Wilkinson v. Henry, County Treasurer, ante, p. 254, 128 So. 362 .
