Simmons, C. J.
1. Admissions of the alleged agent of a corporation are not admissible to bind the corporation unless the agency be shown.
2. Agency can not be proved by the declarations of the alleged agent (Jones v. Harrell, 110 Ga. 373); nor, without other and further proof of agency, are orders for money signed by such alleged agent, or agreed settlements by him of claims against the corporation, admissible in evidence to bind the corporation. Judgment reversed.
All the Justices concurring.
