OF ARBITRATIONS AND AWARDS.

THE Act by which parties refer a matter in dispute to the decision of a third person, is called a Submission -the person, an Arbitrator-and his decision, an Award.

The Submission may be verbal, or in writing. And as it is a mere authority, it may in either case be revoked; but then notice must be given of the revocation before an award. If the submission is by bond, it will become forfeited by a revocation.

It is common to have several Arbitrators. When this is the case, they must all join in the Award, unless it is otherwise provided for in the Submission. And

where there is such a provision, all must be présent, unless those who are absent had proper notice.

An Award to be good, must be according to the Submission.

If it embraces any matter not comprehended in the Submission, it is so far void.

And it must not extend to any one who is a stranger to the Submission and controversy, unless for the benefit of one of the parties: and then it must be of an act to be done to, and not by, the stranger.

The Award ought to comprehend every thing submitted, and not be of parcel only.-It must also be certain, or capable of being reduced to a certainty-advantageous-mutual-and final

And it must not be of a thing unreasonable-against law-or which is physically or morally impossible to the party.
