Torrey v. Munroe
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
Torrey v. Munroe, 119 Mass. 490 (Mass. 1876)
1876 Mass. LEXIS 71
Gray
Torrey v. Munroe
Opinion of the Court
The judgment of the Superior Court, accepting the award, was erroneous: 1st. Because the matter in controversy could not be the subject of a personal action at law, or of a suit in equity, and therefore could not be submitted to arbitration by agreement before a justice of the peace under the statute. Gen. Sts. c. 147, § 1. Hubbell v. Bissell, 13 Gray, 298. 2d. Because the award could not be enforced by any judgment that the Superior Court could render. Gen. Sts. c. 147, § 10. Brown v. Evans, 6 Allen, 333. Award set aside.
