Head Matter:
King, receiver, v. Shepard & Company.

Opinion:
Lumpkin, P. J.
1. An agreement in writing containing admissions of fact, though made for the purposes of a particular trial and after-wards withdrawn, is nevertheless admissible in evidence against the party making such agreement, in favor of the opposite party, in a subsequent trial of the same case. Such agreement is not, however, absolutely binding and conclusive upon the party by whom it was signed; but it is his right to disprove, rebut or explain any statement therein contained. See Luther v. Clay, 100 Ga. 236.
