SUPREME COURT.—This Day.
IN BANCO.
(Before Hia Honor Sir Geo. A. Arney, Kt., Chief Justice.)
CRAIG V. MAC'JFAKLANE. Mr Rees for the plaintiff, and Messrs Gillies and Hesketh for the defendants.
Mr Gillies proceeded to show cause why the rule should not be made absolute. In a leng speech which occupied several hours he contended that there was no ground for getting aside the award either on account of the arbitrators exceeding their jurisdiction or from any alleged corruption or misbehaviour on their part. The only scintilla of evidence in support of any other than the most impartial conduct on their part was the fact that they had heard evidence in the absence of one of the parties. That fault was amply compensated by their subsequent proceedings. The learned concludedflcounsel by saying that if the Court decreed that the arbitration was void it would be a pernicious encouragement to those persons who fed upon endless litigation. Mr Hesketh followed in support of the award. His arguments had not concluded when our reporter left.
