Black, J.
(concurring). I concur with Justice O’Hara’s analysis of this motion for summary judgment, and with his determination that the plaintiff’s long continued acceptance of checks prepared and delivered as to amount in accord with defendant’s (right or wrong) interpretation of the oral and written undertakings of the parties, amounted in law to- an accord and satisfaction upon which summary judgment for defendant was authorized. I have signed accordingly Justice O’Hara’s opinion.
The aimed purpose of this special concurrence is that of stress, so that no one may be misled, of the fact that this defendant’s motion was determined below partly upon affidavits, partly upon depositions taken, and partly upon crucial admissions of the *601deposing plaintiff, and that such determination was made in a suit arising from contractual undertakings rather than out of an alleged tort or torts. The latter distinction is an important one, as forthcoming opinions upon questions of summary judgment practice, arising in tort cases, will fully disclose.
