ing themselves to abide by his award in all m.
difference. His Lordship entered•most minut
elaborately into the articles of the singular an
plicated copartnership in question, and which
man understanding could decide upon under the-,

ers given to the arhitrater in•tbis (Age. Ills Lord
detailed the clauses of the deed, which appeared
be wholly inconsistent and irreconcilable to eacs
other in their most material provisions, insomuch,
that no reference, .under such power £l3 was given to
Mr. Butler, could' make a better deed than the origi-
' nal inexplicable one in question. That deed had.
established Mr. Colman, although a prisotier in the
Roles of the King's Bauch Prison, the general ma-
n •ger of the Theatre, Mr. Winatom,as stage manager,
and Mr. Morris, as the treasurer, in the management
of the concern, at given salaries, midi power to ap..
I point a new stage manager, iii the ratio,of the votes
of the several shares of the respective proprietors of
the concern when a vacancy should arise; a provision
in the deed that would tend to endless doubt and
difficAlty, feciev•the peculiarity of
.the'case. and arti-
cles which rendered the case wholly inexplicable
un-
der.the original articles, ,as well at under the Arbi-
trator's new deed.

His Lordship was therefore clearly of opinion that
the Arbitrator had far exceeded hit authority i,l this
award, and that without more extensive powers to be
given for such an arrangement, the concern could
'never continue or proceed. The result of all his
Lordship's reasoning and deductions front all the
clauses and provisions of these articles, and the award
was, that the same should be set aside. Judgment
was given against the award, and in levant of the
IPlaintiff.
