Syllabus

<p>1. Where pending litigation is submitted to referees whose decision is to be final and conclusive upon the parties, the only ground upon which the award filed may be assailed is that of fraud or misbehavior on the part of the referees.</p> <p>2. No exceptions to the award upon any ground having been filed in the court below, there is nothing brought upon the record that will give standing to an appellant to allege fraud or misbehavior on the part of the referees, in the Supreme Court.</p> <p>3. Depositions, which appear to have been submitted to the court below and are printed in the appellant’s paper-book, are not thus brought properly before the Supreme Court; and besides, being conflicting, that court cannot pass upon the controverted facts.</p>
