14 Johns. 368 | N.Y. Sup. Ct. | 1817
We are of opinion, that the words written in the margin of the award, by the arbitrators, are to be considered as part of the award, and to receive the same construction as if they had been inserted in the body of the instrument. The words form a distinct sentence, and the meaning is the same, whether they be read in one place or another, after any distinct sentence. Besides, these words are merely explanatory of what would have been the operation and effect of the award, if they had not been inserted.
We are of opinion, also, that the omission of the word dollars in the counterpart award delivered to the defendants is not
Judgment for the plaintiff.
