Of this sum 1,0001. was paid by the Defendant, and la bond given fur the remaining 3,5001; upon this. hoed en action was afterwards brought by the Plaintiff. hut it was finally agreed to subunit all matters in dispute to arbitration and the erbitretora awarded t.204)1. to the Pl e bs:sir , to toll of his demand.

Voder these circumstances, Mr. Cowrie entered into another agreement with the Plaintiff, by whrth he engaged that Mr, Taylor s h ould im mediately pay Min 2,0001. and give a hood for 1001. more. payable in Februery next. That agreement, however. Mr. Taylor had failed to ful fill, and now stated that Mr. Cowrie, at the time he entered into it, ass not his attorney,and, there. fore, not authorised to snake any such agreement in his (the Defendant's) name.

Lord Etr.enitoaoccin observed, that the Court were minions to make the award and ■greement the means of obtaining jostler- for the partitii, and the agreement taken by itself seemed to militate against I at the time it was coterei into by the De fendant, considering the pressure under which lie eat, fearing ■n @creation being placed in the Opera-house, the effect of which might have been the suspension of the entertainments at that place, be could hardly be considered as a free agent, Mat at the time the award was matte, he certainly was quite free.

That order was, that the 1.7601. tpActlier with the interest upon it, should Jae im mediately paid over to the Plain,tiff, and a sum plaistd in the bands of the Master sufficient to cover the costs between Attorney and Client, and that all proceeding in Equity and at Co•nmoa Law shonld he abandoned on both sides.
