ARBITRATIONS AND AWARDS.

THE act by which two or more parties refer a matter in dispute to the decision of third parties, is called submission; the parties to whom the matter is referred, arbitrators; and their decision an award.

A verbal decision is valid; but an award, made upon such subnission, can be enforced only by a suit, while a submission in writing authorizes the entry of a judgment in accordance with the tenor of the award.

Submissions, written and verbal, may be revoked by either of the disputants, at any time prior to the rendering of the award But the party revoking is liable to the opposing party for all costs and damages incurred in preparing for the arbitration.

The award, to be good, must not embrace any matter not compro

honded in the submission. The award must comprehend overy item or thing submitted. It must not be of a thing unreasonable nor against law, nor morally or physically impossible to the party and it must also be certain-that is, capable of being reduced to certainty-advantageous, mutual, and final.

:

Arbitrators are authorized by custom, but not by law, to charge the same fees allowed to referees appointed by a court of record, viz. three dollars per day each, for each day necessarily spent in bringing the case to a settlement; the money to be paid when they bring in their award or report. The parties are at liberty, however, to agree at the outset, in writing, upon a specified compensation.
