Duckworth, Chief Justice, and Hawkins, Justice,
concurring specially. We concur in the judgment of reversal because of the erroneous construction of the alimony decree, but we do not think it follows that the defendant husband should have been adjudged in contempt of court. Under the facts of this case, as disclosed by the record, the failure to pay the full amount called for by the decree was in good faith upon advice of counsel for the plaintiff, and was not the act of one wilfully defying the decree of the court. Corriher v. McElroy, 209 Ga. 885 (76 S. E. 2d 782).
