Sitton vs. Cureton et al.
    
    The question of overflowing lands by a mill-dam having been submitted to arbitration, an award that the owner of the dam pay to the owner of the land a specified sum annually “for each year he keeps his mill-dam up to a certain point indicated by the arbitrators on a certain stump,” included the right of the dam owner to raise the water to the height indicated by the arbitrators.
    
      (a.) Tue sole question being whether the water had been raised to a greater height than the award allowed, it should have been left to the jury.
    Judgment reversed.
    November 20, 1883.
    Blandford, Justice.
