rators, that is to say, that they are final and conclusive, both of the law and of the facts, and that whether there has been a mistake either of law or fact the parties cannot by themselves set it up. When, however, the submission contains a power to ref

\par Now, is this rule in any way applicable? In the first place Mr. Costello has not himself come to the Court a
nd admitted that he has made a mistake, and sought the assistance of the Court, nor does it seem to me that he is in a position to do so, seeing that he is not the sole arbitrator in this matter, and further, from the affidavit it would appear that he, Mr
. Costello, disagreed with Mr. Hunt, the other arbitrator, on most of the items and that on their disagreeing the umpire gave his decision. This seems to me to be quite in order and cannot be questioned, the rule in such cases being the umpire}{
