On Application for Rehearing.
Counsel for appellee insists that the record on this appeal does not affirmatively show-that section 4579 of the Code is not applicable to the contract of insurance here sued upon, and that the case is not brought within the rule declared in Hughes’ Case, 77 South. 352A in this counsel is in error. The complaint, to which the pleas were, of course, answers, set out the contract sued on in hsec verba, and on its face it shows that it is not included within the contracts of insurance covered by section 4579 of tbe Code, and that it is included within tbe exceptions mentioned in section 4562 of the Code. In the *445Hughes Case, 77 South. 352,2 two former decisions of this court were overruled, and it was there held that section 4579 of the Code did not apply to mutual associations insuring members without profit, and through the assessment plan. That the instrument here sued on is such a contract or agreement as was held not to he within this section, there can he no doubt. If the Case of Knight, 9 Ala. App. 428, 64 South. 196, decided by the Court of Appeals, can be construed to hold to the contrary, it is to that extent declared unsound, and is not to be followed by this court.
Application overruled.
