CARTER VS. CALVER.T. 207 self that said item should bo withdrawn from the consideration of the arbitrators and adjusted between the parties, and the arbitrators in consequence of such agreement, in making up their award p;ave complainant tlic benefit of the deduction. That after the award had been settled, and made known to the parties, but before the parts had been delivered, the complainant in- sisted that said land and negroes had been taken in satisf;iction of a certain claim against the said George Calvert for moneys at that time in his hands, and which ho was then bound to pay over, and that the award was wrong in bringing the value of said land and negroes into the account, with the claim which was in- tended to be liquidated thereby, to which it was answered by the said arbitrators, or one of them, that the bond of submission ex- pressly declared that all claims on account of the paternal suc- cession were submitted to the decision of the arbitrators, and that the said statement, with the privity and consent of the complainant, had been laid before the arbitrators as a true state of credits to which the defendant would be entitled on ac- count. But that, at his instance, the parts of the award would be retained to enable complainant to exhibit proof of his asser- tion that said land and negroes had been given in satisfaction of the aforesaid claim, and not on account simply; that no such proof was offered, and after the lapse of the time prescribed, the parts of the award were delivered, and, therefore, defendant insists, that upon all the circumstances, the complainant ought to be concluded by said award. He further avers, that he has always been, and is now, ready and willing to settle and adjust the said reserved item, and he insists that he is entitled to a further allowance for the said sum so reserved as a further deduction from the amount awarded against him. He submits to account with complainant and his children on the basis of the award, and to bring in, or invest, or apply under the direction of the court, the residue of the money awarded against him, after taking proper allowances for the payments made by him, and for the said disputed item, and he prays that the complainant may be required to bring into court the sums erroneously paid him by defendant as aforesaid, |
