Hall, Presiding Judge,
concurring dubitante. As to the confusion of the Georgia law on this point see 1 CJS 536, *728537, Accord and Satisfaction, §34 and footnote 55; 13 ALR2d 738; 1 AmJur2d 321-322, Accord and Satisfaction, §23; Hamilton & Co. v. Stewart, 105 Ga. 300 (31 SE 184); Hamilton & Co. v. Stewart, 108 Ga. 472 (34 SE 123); Jenkins v. National Mut. Bldg. &c. Assn., 111 Ga. 732 (36 SE 945); Colfax Gin Co. v. Buckeye Cotton Oil Co., 24 Ga. App. 610 (2) (101 SE 697); Baggett v. Chavous, 107 Ga. App. 642 (131 SE2d 109); Fidelity & Cas. Co. v. C. E. B. M., Ltd., 116 Ga. App. 92 (156 SE2d 467).
The law will become clarified only after there has been a definitive opinion by our highest court. My hope is that certiorari will be sought and granted.
The case now stands with four judges voting to affirm and four judges voting to reverse the judgment of the trial court. Since I must go one way or the other, I vote to concur dubitante in the judgment of reversal.
