COURT OF QIIKEN'S BENCH.—JAN. 17.
Sittiop in Hauco.—(Before the Lord Chief Justice, Mr.
Justice Wisistmea, Mr. Justice Crompton, And Mr.
Justice HdL)
IV TIIE MATTER OF THE GREAT SHIP COMPANY AND JOHN

This case came before the court on two rules obtained
last term, one on behalf of the company and the other on
behalf of Mr. Scott Russell. The differences between the
parties having been referred to three gentlemen, civil
engineers of great eminence, one of them being Mr.
Hawkshaw, they had made an award declaring Mr.
Russell was entitled to receive from the company a sum of
18,0001. The company, however, refused to comply with
the award, on the ground that the arbitrators had ex-
ceeded their authority in investigating claims as to extras
not within the terms of the submission, and likewise
because the award wu bed on the face of
it, in that making it to appear that items of Mr.
Russell's claims were correct by the award. Mr. Russell
had been paid a sun, of 119,U001. ; but his total claim
against the company amounted to 149,61501. On the other
hand the company had counter claims against Mr. Russell,
principally on account of his not having fitted the ship for
sea for the sum originally contracted for. Mr. Russell
claimed 10,000 se still due to him under the original con-
tract, the balance being on account of extra work. The com-
pany denied that the arbitrators had power to investigate
the question of extras. Last term two rules were obtained,
one on behalf of the company calling upon the plaintiff, Mr.
Hu sell, to show cause why the award of the arbitrators
should not be set aside as being irregular on the face
of it, and as deciding as to matters not included in the
submission ; and another on behalf of Mr. Russell,
calling upon the defendants to show cause why
an attachment should not issue against them for
nun-compliance with the conditions of the award. Ac-
cordingly, these two rules sow Mine on to be argued,
Mr. Burin, Q.c. and Mr. W. Williams appearing on behalf
of the plaintiff, Lid Sir F. Kelly and Mr. 11. Lloyd for the
company.
The case occupied the court many hours, and once or
twice a somewhat amicable conclusion seemed likely ; how.
ever, in the end the parties could not be got to copse to
terms.

Mr. Bovill was willing Hut the matters in difference
should be referred back to the same gentlemen as before,
and who might be assisted by some legal gentleman to act
as their assessor. The assessor could point out to the arbi-
trators what claims were within the terms of the submis.
sion, and then they could report what claims their award,
already made, was intended to cover.
On the other band, Sir F. Kelly would not consent to a
amoeba reference to the same gentlemen. His clients, how-
ever, were quite prepared to refer all matters in difference to
some gentleman at the bar, who might, if he thought
proper, call in the former arbitrators, and receive from them
full explanations as to the scope of their award.
The judgment of the court was that both rules must be
discharged, and that Mr. Russell should be left to his
remedy of an action on the award against the company.
Rules discharged accordingly.

f flit Lordship deeliued to reopen the 111 x• ; and rejeet,l
the application.

buted anything to her support. Evidence wan given that
he had been living with • woman at Mulilhans, in tlermany.
Mr. Patchitt appeared fur the petitioner.
For the respondeut, Dr. Stinks cross-examined the peti-
tioner, who, in answer to his questions, said she had gone to
live at her parents by her husband's request. He had at-
tributed the separation to her violence of temper; but it
was not true, for she had never contradicted him during the
whole time he lived with her. It was equally untrue
that he had left her because she was extravagant, for in
point of fact he had never paid a bill of hers.
Sir C. Cresswell said the respondent seemed to have
adopted a very singular remedy for that of which he had
complained. lie complained of his wife's extravagance,
and also of her having gone to reside at her father's, where
she lived free of expense. He had, moreover, sought to
remedy the effects of his wife's alleged extravagance by
keeping a rnistrem. (Laughter.) The marriage must be
dissolved with costa.

said he was at 41. Bt. James's-placc, the previous evening
about seven o'clock, and as he was coming up the stairs he
remarked to his sister that the parlour and street door were
open. He made the remark in a rather undertone to his
slater, and at that moment the prisoner rushed out of the
house, coming from the parlour. He (witness) stayed at
the door thinking some others might be in the parlour, and
a person went after the prisoner and brought him back, and
shortly found the use where he bad found the prisoner.
