This was a petition from the Vice-Admiralty Court of

Representatives of Itlussuteut Seetul Bahoo against
Bahoo Hurkissen Doss, Bengal.
Messrs. Miller and Wigram, for the appellants, argued
against the decree of the Court below. That decree was
founded on a report made by arbitrators appointed to in-
vestigate the partnership accounts of the parties to this
suit but went much beyond that report, in regarding a
,
certain sum as the balance due by the appellants to the
respondents, at the same time reserving the right of the
appellants to make objections against certain items of
those accounts. The arbitrators had expressly stated
that their report was incomplete, owing to the non-pro-
duction of certain books. The application ought to have
been made to the authorities in India, to enforce the pro-
duction of the boaks, and no sum ought to have been
awarded as a balance until the deduction claimed by the
appellants had been settled.
Mr. Sergeant Spankie, for the respondents, contended
that there had been,ample materials for the decree given ;
the appellants had lost their right to make any deductions,
by delaying so long the production of certain books, which
would have decided the items objected against ; they had
merely offered .copies of those books, and could not even
authenticate them as correct copies; the original hooks
had been either in the possession of the appellants or of
parties over whom they had control.
Their Lordships gave judgment in this appeal.—The
partnership was dissolved in 1797, and this suit was in-
stituted in 1806, by the respondents bringing an action
for a sum alleged to be due on the balance of the partner-
ship accounts. The Provincial Court made a decree (on
the finding of arbitrators), that a certain balance was due
against the appellants, with permission, if there were any
ground for the objections taken by the appellant against
items of the accounts, to bring an action to recover on the
objection. The arbitrators' report on which this decree
was founded was incomplete for want of certain books.
The appellant then applied by petition to the Sudder
Dewauny Adawlut, stating that they could produce the
books in question, and praying that they might be taken
in evidence. The Sudder Detvauny Adawlut dismissed
the petition, and affirmed the decree
Their Lordships were of opinion that the decree of the
Solder Dewauny Adawlut should be reversed.
