In re INDIAN CLAIMS.
APPEAL FROM AN AWARD OF THE ARBITRATORS. JUSTI0E.-(Oral.)

Judgment of the Court

The arbitrators cameto a proper conclusion as to the point which is now raised and their award ought not to be interfered with, more especially as in the judgment of the Privy Council in the case of The Attorney-General for the Dominion v. Attlorney-General for Ontario their Lordships, though not expressly deciding the question, may, from their interlocutory observations during the course of the argument, be presumed to have had under consideration contingent annuities as well as. those presently payable.
We must dismiss the appeal.
