Jordan, Justice,
concurring specially.
I dissent as to Division 2 of the opinion b]ut concur in the judgment of reversal.
In my opinion the trial court erred in allowing testimony as to declarations of an agent of the insurance company that the plaintiff was "covered” or "fully covered.”
Insurance is a matter of contract and in Georgia a policy of insurance must be in writing. Code Ann. §§ 56-2402, 56-2413. The plaintiff was bound by the terms of the contract of insurance which was delivered to him and which apparently was not examined by him as to the terms of its coverage. The plaintiff was bound by the provisions of the policy issued to him.
I am authorized to state that Justice Marshall joins in this special concurrence.
