Opinion

Spence, J.,

delivered the opinion of this court.

We think in this case the award is void by reason of its uncertainty. The arbitrator should have set out in his award, on account of which of the defendants, the indebtedness accrued, and in what character.

The award is therefore set aside and the cause remanded to the Chancellor. And to that end this court will sign a decree.
