Freeland v. Mannahan.

1824. 30th Oct.

Headnote

Costs refused on decree for the eomplainanet; the matter having been before submitted to arbitration, and the decree varying but little from the award.

ON settling the decree in tMs catiSe,

observed;

That the controversy appeared to have been heretofore sub-. mitted to arbitration, and nothing appeared to impeach the fairness of the award, nor any reason why that award might not have been a bar if insisted on; and that the sum theti awarded was not much different from the amount now decreed. For these reasons, though the decree was in favor of the complainants, the court refused costs.

Mr. D. Graham for complainant.

Mr. C. Baldwin for defendant.
