"In my opinion the facts show clearly that the Arbitrator was well aware that the applicants desired to raise certain questions of law in the form of a Special Case. That being ao, he was guilty of misconduct in not, giving the applicants the opportunity to come to this Court, if he himself did not intend to submit these questions for the decision of the Court," said the Chief Justice, Sir Henry Gollan, la the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon, when he granted a motion by Mr. Eldon Patter, K.

It will no doubt be of interest to, many to learn that the Bishop of take the chair on June 29th at the London has kindly consented to annual meeting of the Association at Victory House, Leicester Square.

The fact that his Lordship has Ao recently stayed in the Colony will help tremendously towards nking up those who, have the in- at heart terests of this Diocese both here and at home.

The Association would be grate ful if any who are likely to be in England this summer would send their names in so that invitations may be sent to them. It is also possible that many in the Colony may have, friedila at home who would like to have invitations sent. to them. All names and addresses should be sent in as soon as possi-

Remedios.words which should have made it The applicants alleged Mr. clear to the Arbitrator that his Little legally misconducted him- clients desired to have the points self in not slating his award in the of law mentioned by hiro, decided form of a Special Case, and that by the Court, and if he ignored he did wrong in not delaying mak- this, he would be acting wrongly. ing the award until he had notified his intention of not stating the award as a Special Case... They contended that they had been pre- cluded from applying to the Court on points of law. Another ground for objection was that the award was bad, because on its face it was erroneous in matter of law and fact.

Arbitrator's Duties. Referring to the duties of an Arbitrator, His Lordship said he was given the power to state an award, as to the whole or a part, in the form of a Special Case for the opinion of the Court, and if directed by the Court should state in the form of a Special Case any question of law arising in the course of an arbitration.

No Definite Request. Without previous notice Mr. Little made his award, and asked whether he hid as part of his award stated the questions of law in the form of a Special Case, re- plied that the remarks of Messrs. Jenkin and Zeitlyn supported his recollection "that there was not a definite request from both parties that I should state & Special Case" and added "I have taken this course in the hope of avoiding un- necessary expense to both parties."

Mr. Little relied on the fact that the request had not been made by both parties, obviously incorrect ground on which to base a re- fusal to state a Special Case. Neither in that letter, ner in his uffidavit did he allege that he did The Arbitrator's duty was to not realise the applicants desired, state a Special Case" on request, in ont of the three ways mention- or if he refused to do so, to "delayed, to have the decision of the his award until a party to the ash Court on the points of law of the tration could apply to the Court arbitration, for an order dirgeting a Special Case. If the Arbitrator refused to comply with either of such re- qheats, he was guilty of miscon- dust, and the Court could set inside an award made by him.

Arbitrator at Fault.

There were grounds for hold ing that the points of law proposed

to be submitted for the decision of the Court were frivolous or for the of delay. The award purpose must be set aside on the ground of misconduct on the part of the Arbitrator.

Counsel for the respondents had argued that no such application had been made, and if it had it was made en frivolous grounds and for the purposes, of delay.'" His Lordship considered the His Lordship then went on to award was also bad on the ground consider paints raised by Mr.of an error of law, and ordered it Jenkin and Mr. Zeitlyn, at the to be set aside, with coats. hearing.

Application Refused.

Mr. Alabaster asked His Lord- ship to remit the ease to the same Arigator for decision again as the misconduct was not of the type that was mut with in certain cuses.

An Express Request... Continuing he said it seemed to him that Mr. Jenkin, clearly stated tares alternative ways in which the opinion of the Court" on the various points of law, which he enumerated, might be obtained, and asked in express, terms that asked to do that, before actually making the award,

Mr. Zeitlyn emphasised the right of an Arbitrator, to decide questions of law as well as fast, and suggested that, in view of the facts of the case, the Arbitrator would be enabled "to dispense with the expense and delay to the parties of a Special Case."
