New York Supreme Court, 1806

Stevenson v. Beecker

Stevenson v. Beecker
New York Supreme Court · Decided August 15, 1806
1 Johns. 492

Counsel

Van Vechten, contra,

Stevenson v. Beecker

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

The submission to referees was in nature of an arbitration. The case does not appear to be such as required the examination of long accounts, or proper to be referred under the act. It comes, therefore, within the reason of our decision of Miller & Underhill v. Vaughan.* There is no pretence of misbehaviour in the referees, and the parties having agreed that their report should b.‘ conclusive, they must abide by it. We give no opinion on the merits.

Rule granted.

Ante, 315.
