March 20th, 1817, the President pronounced the opinion of this Court.

The Court has no doubt but that the Judgment of the Court below, refusing to enter Judgment pursuant to the award, is erroneous, on the principles settled by this Court in the case of Shermer v. Beale, 1 Wash. 11; but the appeal was prematurely allowed, as no final judgment was entered in the case. The Appeal is therefore dismissed with Costs, as having been prematurely granted.
