Opinion of the Court

Duckworth, Chief Justice.

This case is before this court on the denial of a motion to grant summary judgment urging that no attorney’s fees were due on an alleged default in the instalment payments of a note and the subsequent alleged acceleration of the entire indebtedness because no notice was made of the intention to accelerate and allow payment in full within 10 days after receipt of the notice under Code Ann. § 20-506 (Ga. L. 1946, pp. 761, 766; 1953, pp. 545, 546; 1957, p. 264). Held:

Russell, 207 Ga. 220 (60 SE2d 243). Accordingly, it will be

Argued May 14, 1968 Decided May 23, 1968. George G. Finch, for appellant. John Hollis Allen, for appellee.
