Citation | 119 Mass. 490 |
Parties | Frances Torrey v. Israel W. Munroe |
Decision Date | 31 January 1876 |
Court | United States State Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts |
Norfolk. Appeal under the Gen. Sts. c. 147, § 12, from an order of the Superior Court accepting an award made and returned into court in pursuance of a submission under that chapter.
The demand submitted was "the determination and establishment of the true and original division line between the estates of said Torrey and Munroe, situated on Washington Street, in said Quincy, said line having been long in dispute."
The award determined and established the line, describing it, and referring to a plan annexed and made part thereof.
The defendant moved to set aside the award for the following reasons:
Award set aside.
J. Hewins, for the plaintiff.
J. E. Tirrell, for the defendant.
The judgment of the Superior Court, accepting the award, was erroneous: 1st. Because the matter in controversy could not be the subject of a personal action at law, or of a suit in equity, and therefore could not be submitted to arbitration by agreement before a justice of the peace under the statute. Gen. Sts. c. 147, § 1. Hubbell v. Bissell, 13 Gray 298. 2d. Because the award could not be enforced by any judgment that the Superior Court could render. Gen. Sts. c. 147, § 10. Brown v. Evans, 6 Allen 333.
Award set aside.
