Opinion

Per Curiam.

The submission being under the act of 1705, the award stood before the court on the footing of a verdict, and the decision of the exceptions to it was equivalent to the overruling of a motion for a new trial. It is not in the power of arbitrators to put the merits on the record for revision here; and we have before us the form of an ordinary ejectment, on which there is no error.

Judgment affirmed.
