Woods v. Inhabitants of Groton

111 Mass. 357

Opinion

By the Court.

The question is not whether the facts disclosed show that the arbitrators decided rightly; but whether they are sufficient to establish the contrary. Unless it is made to appear that the arbitrators mistook the law, or misconducted in some respect, their award cannot be set aside. All presumptions are to be taken in its favor; and it is conclusive upon questions of fact. c

There is nothing in the case by which the award can be impeached. Judgment for the plaintiffs affirmed.
