Opinion

Per curiam.

This court granted an application for a writ of certiorari to review a 6-3 decision of the Court of Appeals in Massey v. Henderson, 138 Ga. App. 565 (226 SE2d 750) (1976). The Court of Appeals affirmed a summary judgment rendered in favor of the master in a master-servant tort action brought by complainants against the master but not against the servant.

We conclude, after a thorough review, that the majority opinion of the Court of Appeals is correct, and that court’s judgment must be affirmed.

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur, except [218]*218 Jordan, J., who dissents. Argued September 13, 1976 — Decided January 4, 1977 Rehearing denied January 27, 1977. Parker & O’Callaghan, James I. Parker, L. B. Kent, for appellants. Hatcher, Stubbs, Land, Hollis & Rothschild, A. J. Land, W. G. Scrantom, Jr., for appellees.
