Frankum, Justice,
concurring. I concur in the judgment affirming the decision of the Court of Appeals in this case but I do not agree that this court, in deciding Woodall v. Pharr, 224 Ga. 492, overlooked the fact that the two McDougald cases were decided prior to the adoption of the Code of 1863. That Code section simply was not applicable to that case, for, as was pointed out by Judge Whitman in 117 Ga. App. at page 408 in the decision which this court affirmed in 224 Ga., the tender there was not made on behalf of or at the special instance of the one obligated. In my opinion, it is clear that the tender there merely amounted to a tender by a volunteer or volunteers, and, even under Code § 20-1105, the tender must be made on behalf of and at the special instance of the one indebted, and unless so made the creditor need not accept it. In this case the tender appears to have been made in accordance with that requirement.
