| Parties | Charles Cowley v. Elizabeth Dobbins |
| Court | United States State Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts Supreme Court |
Middlesex. Motion in the Superior Court to set aside an award made and returned into that court in pursuance of a submission before a justice of the peace under the Gen. Sts. c. 147, §§ 1, 2, on the ground that the arbitrators had made certain mistakes of law.
The submission followed the form given in the statute, and the award, signed by the arbitrators, was as follows:
Brigham, C. J., overruled the motion, and ordered judgment upon the award. The plaintiff alleged exceptions.
Exceptions overruled.
C. Cowley, pro se.
D. S. Richardson & G. F. Richardson, for the defendant, were not called upon.
The plaintiff's motion shows no grounds for setting aside the award. No question of law having been stated by the arbitrators for the opinion of the court, nor required by the submission to be so stated, the determination of the arbitrators was conclusive upon all matters of law as well as of fact. Ellicott v. Coffin, 106 Mass. 365. Gardner v. Boston, 120 Mass. 266.
Exceptions overruled.
