DECEMBER TERM, 1784.
    Young v. Reuben.
    
      Award.
    
    An award of a sum of money, due at a prior date, with interest, is void for uncertainty.
    
    
      
       Overruled in Wood v. Earl, 5 Rawle 45.
    
   Under a rule of this court, referees reported, “ that the sum of 751. was due the 3d of Ma/rch last, with interest on the same.” The time mentioned was several months before the meeting of the referees; and, on motion, The Court set aside the report for the uncertainty ; as there might have been a sum due on the 3d of March, and nothing due at the time of making the report,
