itself into the question, whether the Duke of
Sometime was entitled to any relief from the de-
cisi 111 l prostouticeil by Messrs. Roupell and Shad-
well. lii selecting these two gentlemen as arbitrators,
he had 51wpm/A that they were perfectly apprised
of all the facto which should be taken into consi-
derations before an award should be pronounced;
but on the allegations of the bill, which for the
prevent he was bound to look upon as true, they
were both must c pletely ignorant and mistaken
as to one important fact, which, if known, would
necessarily. in their own opinion, resider their deter-
misiatioss partial and unjust. Their award had
proceeded on the supposition, either that the de-
posit had been handed over to the Duke of Somer-
set, or rpplied by his agents to his use and inte-
rest; both which circumstances were denied in the
bill. It was not possible for the Defendant to get
over that mistake; end could any Court permit
such an award so stand without relief ? The bill
prayed a great deal snore than perhaps the Duke
was emitted to ; but if he could ley a just claim to
