      Arbitration — Findings of fact as to misconduct of arbitrators — Review.

    J. Hazleton Mirkil, with him J. Hibbs Buckman, for appellant.
    
      Frank P. Prichard, with him Robert James Earley, for appellee.
    May 17, 1911:
   Per Curiam,

The learned judges of the common pleas carefully considered the testimony in support of the rule to show cause why the report of the arbitrators should not be set aside, and found that the allegations of misconduct were not sustained. This finding appears to be fully sustained by the testimony. Nothing short of clear error would warrant us in disturbing it.

The order of the court discharging the rule is affirmed at the cost of the appellant.
