My Committee are quite in sympathy with the views expressed in your letter under reply: and they are agreed that any inelevant matter which may be brought in by Arbitrators, in their awards is irregular; byt they are aware only of a few instances in which this has been the case and in these cases by special request of the parties concerned, who ask not only for a settlement of specific points, but a report on the survey generally.

You will of course understand that surveys on cestain goods bring up points which may apparently be extraneous to the matter in dispute but without which the award, by itself, would be incomplete, and in many cases would not form a sufficient bals for setilement be- tween the parties Interested.
