TREATMENT.
lieimbold's highly concentrated compound Extract o
Buchu Is decidedly one of the best remedies for diseases
of the bladder, kidneys, gravel, oropsloal swellings,
rheumatism, and sooty affections. Under this head we
baxa arranged Dysurla, or difficulty and pain in passing
water, scanty secretion, or small and frequent dis
charges of water, Strangury or stopping of water, He
maturia or bloody urine, Oout, and Kheumatlsm of the
kidneys, without any change in quantity, but Increase
ol color or dark water. It was always highly recom
mended by the lae Dr. Physic in these affections.
Tola medicine Increases the power of digestion and
excites the absorbents Into healthy exercise, by which
the watery or calcareous depositions, and all unnatural
enlargements, as well at pain aud inflammation, are
reduced, and Is taken by

H. T. Delmbold, Druggist s
Dear Sir: I have been a sufferer for upwards o
twenty years with gravel, bladder, and kidnay affec
tions, during which time I have nsed various medicinal
preparations, and been under the treatment of the most
eminett physicians, experiencing but little relljt.
Having seen your preparations extensively adver
tised, I consulted my family physician la regard to
using your Extract ot Bucuu
, I did tbls because I bad used all kinds ol advertised
emedles, and bad tound them worthless, and somo
quite lnjnilousi In fact, I despaired of ever getting well,
and determined to use no remedies hereafter unless I
knew of the ingredients. As you advertised that it was
composed of buchu, cubebt, and juniper berriet. It
occurred to me and my physician as an excellent com
bination, and, with his advice, alter an examination ol
the article, and consulting again with a druggist, I con
cluded to try it. I commenced its use about eight
months ago, at which time I was confined to my room
From the first bottle I was astonished and gratified at
the beneficial effect, and after using It three weeks, was
able to walk out. I felt much like writing you a full
statement of my case at that time, but thought inr Im
provement might only be temporary, and therefore
concluded to deftr and see If It would effect a cure
knowing that t would be ol greater vaj ue to you and
and more satisfactory to me.
I AM HOW A.BLK TO BKPOBT THAT A CUBE IS EFFECTED
APTBB VSUO THB REMEDY FOB VB MONTHS.
JHAVB MOT USED AST HOW tOB TUBES MONTHS, AND
FEEL AS WELL IK ALL BESFEOTS AS I BVEB DID.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor, a nice tonic and Invlgorator of the system, I
do not mean to be without it whenever oocaston may
require its nee In such affections.

The committee on credentials reported the
following for honorary members: P. N. Judah,
ldwatd Coats, Dr. J.'E. Kent-all of Philadel
phiawho were unanimously accepted.
un mouon, tne resolutions preseniea yester
day were taken up and acted upon separately.
Jteiolved, As our first and moit pleasing duty, we
solemnly acknowledge our boundless obligations to
the all-graoious and all-wlsoUod, who. in iho fulness
ot time, so visibly led ob from servitude to freedom;
alter wrioiii our gratitude is due to tbat noble mul
titude of men and women through whose instru
mentality our oeiiverauoe was eileoted.
Jiesolved, That in an especial manner we do
heieby express our thanks to the brave and wise
men ol tbe Houses of Congress for the sagacity,
firmnoss, and wisdom witb which they have ongi
na'ed and consummated the great measures already
nnrrnoted bv them : and to express our bone and
coDfldonce tbat tbey will go steadily forward to per
tect tbe great system ot legislation so nob.y began.
Heso'ved, That being considered a part and par
ed nt the people of tbe United Hlates, and having
uptieldtne supremacy of the Constitution tlieroof,
we bo'd that we cannot become citizen ot the State
o aiming sisterhood with the Union, whose Consu
tution denies ns tbe right of iranohise; we there
fore pray that no Slate or Territory who thus
ignores us, he admitted to representation.
JUsolved, that tbe people of the revolted! States,
who remained tine in tbo presence ot death that
threatened them, and notwithstanding the allure
ments that would xednoe them, ana who were bc
t raved by an Executive who should hve protected
and cherished them, are entitled to our
tendfrest sympathy for tbelr sutforiDg,
our hightest admiration tor their heroism, our gra
titude for tbelr oevotion to m common cause, and
our Vi bole-hearted support in the farther struggle,
until that cause, above all earthly things saored,
shall be made more glorious man all human
achievements bv its fiuul triumph.
Jiesolved. That as tbe right of self-government i a
natural right, it pertains to all men alike; and as in
onr country it 'is exeroised through the elective Iran
chise, that fianchise becomoa l be natural and just
right of every American ; and that to deprive any
man of tbe exercise ot thts right is a blasphemous
oenial oi the divine pnnoiples upon which just gov
ernments are founded.
ltttovtd, Tbat we regard all men who were en
gaged in the military or naval service ot the United
btates as guardians and protectors ot the same; tbat
we deprecate any distinction in either of tbe
branches referred to as regards color; in our
opinion merit sheuld he rewarded; that as soldieis
and se men, color should not bar us from promotion,
but tbey who shall piove themselves worthy, let them
be rewarded.
Retolved, I hat the transition of a numerous and
powerful race from servitnde to freedom from the
abasement oi slavery to tbe exaltation of citizen
ship, involve the severest ordeal through which a
people can pass; and dovolves upon them the neces
sity of a lull urvey of their position, and a wise and
sagaeiou use ot their means ol progresa.
lust while it eoimnrnda them to the coni'deration
and kindness oi the tuet and humane, it also exposes
them to the scorn and coatome'y of the enemlea of
nui kind. Yet it is onr trust and hope to so employ
our recovered rights as to vinriiea'e the wisdom or
fiod In onrcreat. on, and Jostify the labor and sacri
fice expended our liberation and restoration.
Robert Purvie, Esq., and Captain Walker
came in at this stae,e of the proceedings, and a
Committee were appointed to conduct them to A
teat cn the platform.
The Business Committee presented a number
of Utters, which were referred to that Com
mittee lor publication. ,
A aeries of resolutions were then offered,
rehearsm the Iniquities and oppression prac
tised upon the colored people in toe soutn,
demanding ibat they be furnished with the
roenns ot protecting themselves by Congress
and the President. I
Some discussion ensued upon the resolutions,
and ur. Garrett considered it the height of folly
to appeal to the President of the United 8tate9
to undo the evil which he had so persistently
done. Colonel Hinton, of Kansas, and M.
Dudley, of tbe District of Columbia, earnestly
advocated their adoption.
Colonel Lewis Wagner thought it would be
bept if they were to adopt tUp portion reforrlng
to the petitioning of Congress to instruct the
President to give certain protection to the
colored people ol the South, and then If. alter
receiving such instructions, after beine ordered
by Congress, he refuses to obey the orders, then
they hBd sufficient cause to try him lor derelic
tion of duty and misdemeanor in office.
A motion was made and agreed to, that the
Convention continue in session nntil all busi
ness was transacted, and then adjourn ahie die.
The following resolution, ottered by Mr.
Jenkins yesterday, but laid on the table, was
taken up this, morning, but no formal action was
taken, as the Convention took n recess of twenty
minutes. In order to enable the finance com
mittee to receive contributions to defray ex
penses: Itetolved, That we regard the present Congress as
the only true representatives of the will of the
people, and to it we will pledge onr undivided sup
port, both bv bullet and ballot.
lietolved. That we will earnestly labor for exten
sion of equal suffrage to the whole Amorican
people, that the blood of tbe heroes of Fort
Wagner, Oloostee, Fort Hedge, Fort Pillow,
Petersburg, Richmond and other places; and that
our lathers' and brothers' blood may not have
been shed In vain, that, trusting in that Cod who
bringeth victor? ont of defeat, we may yet enjoy
all our rights, and secure respect under the reign
ot peace.
FRANCE.
Itcccptiou of General Dlx at t he FrtucH
Court.
From the Moniteur, December 24.
Mr. John Bigelow and Major-Oeueral John A.
Dix had the honor of being received yesterday
by the Emperor in public audience. Mr. John
Biaelow handed his Majesty the letters which
terminated the mission which he had fulfilled
as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo
tentiary of the United States of America.
Major-General Dix afterwards remitted to his
Majesty the letters which accredited him to the
Emperor in the character of Envoy Extraordi
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the
United Slates of America. Major General Dix
addressed the folio wing speech to his Majesty:
SrEECU OP GENERAL DIX.
Sire: In presenting my letters of credence
from the President of the United States, 1 aai
chareed by him to express his best wishes for
your Majesty, and for the prosperity of the
French empire, as well as his sincere desire
that the good understanding now subsisting be
tween the two countries may be perpetual. It
has alwajs been.since the establishment of their
Government, Ihe aim of the United States to
cultivate friendly relations with all nations.
There are especial reasons for their desiring to
maintain the most friendly relations with
Prance.
They can never forget that it afforded to them
the most opportune and the most ellicacious aid
by acknowledging their independent and equal
rnnk among the other nations of the earth. The
two countries Prance during your Majesty's
reign, and the United States lu the correspond
ing period have made extraordinary progress
in the industrial arts and iu the applica
tion of science to practical uses. Each on
its side occupying an eminent position at
tne hetd of the civilization of two vast
continents, the influence of their sympathetic
movements, by giving expansion to ideas and
by imprinting progress upon material interests
so important to the well-being of nations, can
not mil to make itself powerfully felt, aud with
advantage lar beyond their immediate action.
I am certaiD that I do not express in any exag
gerated words the seutimeuts of tiie Government
aud of the people of the United Slate", if 1 say
that it is Iheir sincere desire to see that union
which attached thein in the pat to France,
ripen in the future into a slill more close aud
cordial friendship.
I fhall esteem mvself the most fortunate of
men, if, during the performance of my ortieiul
duties toward your Majesty's Government, I am
enabled to contribute in any degree to an object
so intimately cciiaccicd with flie happiness of
the two countries, aud with the interests of
humanity throughout the world.
EEPLY OF THE EMPEROR.
I thank you. General, for the sentiments which
you have expressed in the name of the United
States. The historic recollections which you
have called up are a certain guarantee that no
misunderstanding will arise to disturb the
lriendly relations which have for so lone sub
sisted between France and the American Union.
A loyal and sincere agreement will, I doubt not,
tend to the profit of industry and commerce,
which daily astonish the woi Id by their prodi
g es, aud will insure the progress of civilizaiion.
Your presence among us cannot but coutrihut?
to this happy result, by maintaining the relations
to which I attach so much value.

OBITUARY.
General Arthur P. Hayne.
By a telegram of yesterday morning the death
of thla distinguished South Carolinian was an
nounced as having taken place at hie residence
In Charleston on the fth inst. General nayae
was born in Charleston on the 12th day ol
March, 1790, and was d escended from one of
tho most famous families of his native State,
lie was a grand-nefhew of Isaac Hayne, an
officer of the Revolution, who, being captured
near Charleston, was put to death, after a mock
trial, by order of Lord Kawdon (the Karl of
Moiral and Lieuteuani-Colonel Balfour, of the
British army.
He was also the brother of Robert Young
Ilajne, who was Goveraor of South Carolina
soon alter the passage of the celebiated Nul
lification law, in 1832, aud whose counter pro
clamation to that of President Jackson, de
nouncing the law, appeared likely to lead to
war, until Congress receded from its position
on the protective question. The original an
cestors of the subject of this sketch came from
near Bhrowsburj, in Shropshire, England, in
1700. emigrating to South Carolina in conse
quence of political troubles.
General Hayne was originally educated for a
mercantile life; but upon the outrageous attack
on tbe United States frigate Chesaneake,
although then a mere lad of seventeen years of
age, he abandoned all ntlvato pursuits, and,
making application for, obtained a commission
in the regiment of lisht dragoons then com
manded by Colonel Wade Hampton. In the
battle and victory of Sackctt's Harbor in 1812
he took a conspicuous part, and for his gallautry
during the engagement was promoted to the
rank ot major, and given command of a squad
ron of cavalry.
When the attack on Montreal in 1813, was
contemplated, ha accompanied General Wil
liams down the St. Lawn nco for the purpose of
taking part in the campaign; but the project
having been abandoned, he toon after re
turned. During the Creek war in 1814 ho was
appointed Inspector-General, and ordered to
report to General Jackson, which he did, serv
ing with distinction, aud acting as Adjutant
General during the absence of Colonel Butler.
On November 7, 1814, Pensacola was stormed
by the American army, and in this action Major
llayne greatly distinguished himself, being
almost the first man to enter the Spanish bat
teries. In the night attack on the British armv, De
cember 23, 1814, which preceded the buttle of
New Orleans, Colonel llayne's (he hud been pro
moted to this rank for his gallantry at Pensa
cola) part In this brilliant affair was particularly
conspicuous. In his official despatch to the
War Department General Jackson compli
mented him by writing that "Colonel Hayne
was everywhere where duty and danger called."
During the war he received three brevets for
gallant and meritorious conduct, and, upon
peace being declared, was retained in the regu
lar service as adjutant general. His last part
in active military life was during the second
Florida campaign, when he was placed in com
mand of the Tennessee volunteer by order of
General Jackton.
In 18?0, having previously prepared himself
fir the bar. General Hayne resigned his com
mission in the United States army and retired
into private life. Having been admitted to
practice at the Charleston bar, be soon distin
guished himself, and in 1821 ho was elected to
the State Legislature. Soon after this election
he was offered the position of Miuister to Bel
gium, but lrom domestic considerations de
clined to accept it.
He, however, held ninny prominent positions
in his native State, and in 1858 was appointed
lo the United elates Senate for the purpose of
tilliuer a vacancy caused by the death of Mr. J.
J. Evans, but shortly after resigned the posi
tion, and wai succeeded by Mr. Chestnut. Dur
ing the recent wnr, General Havne took no part
whatever in politics. While he "deeply lamented
the attempt to dissolve the Union, in delenseof
which he had po olten fought and bled, he never
theless warmly sympathized with the cause of
the South, in which all of lib relatives were
actively engaged.
In his private character General Hayne ex
hibited many excellent traits. He was kind.
j charitable, and bore the reputation of being a
pood master to his slaves. Having been born
j in 1790, he had consequently nearly reached the
lipe age of seventy-seven at the time of his
; death." As one of the prominent representatives
i of a generation now pas-iue away from earlh.
: his death will be lamented throughout the
country.
General Grant on the Suffrage Veto
Washington, January 8. In conversation
with General Grant to-day relative to his re
ported approval of the President's veto of the
District Suffrage bill, I learutbe following facts:
lie was present at the Cabinet meeting by
request, without previous knowledge of the
s bject that would come up for deliberation.
Iu the discussion on the bill General Uruut
took no part, and al'ier all were through, and
he had risen from his seat to depait, th? Presi
dent asked him if there would be any impro
priety in asking his view on the subject. Gene
ral Grant replied very briefly, tbat the objec
tion which had been urged by one of the Cabi
net, that it was unconstitutional because it dis
franchised Rebels without trial, was, in hb esti
mation the best part of the bill, aud exhibited
the most wisdom.
With reference to conferring the right of suf
liage upon the colored people of this District,
ho remarked tbat he always thought it incon
sistent on the part oi Congress to enforce this
rlaht here while they refused to grant it to the
same class in their own States. Either mem
bers of Congress should extend this privilege at
home, or wait until the ppople here asked for it.
This was the extent of his expression, upon the
subject. Upou the arguments and principles
ii.volved lu the Mcsage he uttered no opinion
liatever. .V. Y. 1ime.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE,
TRAPPING.
Court of Quarter geiiloui-Judge Peiroe.
In t his Court this morning theie was a very inte
resting case of trapping. James Lee w a charged
with the larceny of two or tbres boer barrels belong
ing to William Partington. Tbese parties are aged
gentlemen living in the neighborhood of Maua)Uuk,
and ao ancient, bitter feud has been lor some timo
existing between them.
air. Partington owhs a lager beer brewery, near
Manayunk, and of course had a number ot valuable
barren and kegs, lie also has a young man living
with him, who attends to all kinds of work. Thit
voung man, one day, not long sinco, was driving a
cart along tbe. road, when be was approached ana
addressed by Mr. Lee to the following effect:
"My boy, Mr. Partington is a clever, gentle. naniv
noighbor ot mine, and is quite wealthy in barrels,
ot which bo could we'l artjid to lose a tew. jN'ow
although he is a most nrbi no, obliging old codger,
I would feel a litt!e dolicic in asking htm tor tliue
bairels; but still I would like rerr much to bare a
tew. You 810 a likoly young chap, in the confidence
ot my friend the brewer, an 101 like to turn a
p uny in any po sidle way. You stca' me somo of
these barrels, and I will pay you well."
bo a contract was made, by which it was acrwd
that, on a certain evening, as llr. Partington vould
tli en be tipsy, as tbe boy said, this confidential
c erk would place some of the bairels at a certuin
place on Lee's farm, wheieLee oould get them. The
two separated, sweating eternal fidelity.
Hut the juvenile conspirator was a little too much
on the milk and-water order, and he told Mr. Part
ington of the compact. Partington was so delighted
fl at he told tbe young man to place the barrels at
the place designated, aud be himself wont to Mans
) uuk and procured two police officers to bide in the
y oocs ana nao trie wouid-oe roDDer.
Accordingly, the barrels were there at the time,
aud tbe officers also, behind time. But rinding
tliemstlves 100 late they stroCc off on another road,
and headed off Mr. Lee as he was steering his cart
unit cargo through a field. Accordingly, being abso
lutely trapped, be was conveyed to tbe fetation
House. Buoh was the Commonwealth's case.
the del on se showed qul'e another state of affair.
1 bese two gentlemen were once partners iu tiie
biewerv busintus, aud bad an unlriendly dissolu
tion ol the partnership. Mr. J.eo had a property in
ii'aDT ot these barrels, which Hr Partington would
Lot consent to give him. Ue brought actions of
replevin again.'t Partington, and recovered some
ot these barre.s. Hot claiming more, and
1 t wisMiig to have a difficulty or harsh
words with his quondam partner, he took
u; a proposiiien made by the boy, of placing
ti e bariels where be could get them. Mr. Lee said
he wanted none but his own barrels, and told the
ley bow tbey weie marked. And the boy took out
these barrel, marked as Lee bad said, and claimed
bv that gentleman, and tbey were taken away. lie
did net act with a ielloneou intent, but with a view
of tecorenng hi own property. Tbe delecse went
lurther to show that this action was brought by the
piosecutiou through ma'ice and not to have justice;
and, moreover, the good character of the defendant.

PARTNERSHIPS.
Vnrtev What C'irumtances a Court of
Kqultjr will Interfere to Dissolve
In tbe Court of Common Pleas the following
interesting opinion was delivered on Eataiday
last by Judge Brewster:
Common Picas. In Equity. June Ttrm, I860,
No. 16. Vhariea Faqe v Joseph 'J'. Yantirk,
and E. D. Marstiatl.
This case was heard upon bill, answer, repli
cation, and proofs. .
It Is a partnership bill, the complainant pray
In? for a dissolution, lulunctiou, and receiver. .
Th3bill charges that tho complainant, "on
the 8th day ot January, A. D. 1866, entered Into
a copartnership with the defendants in writing,
under the firm name of Vankirk A Company,
tor the purpose ol carrying, on the business of
rolling and manufacturing sheet brass, and
other metal tubings and chandeliers, and gas
fixtures generally, without any fixed term or
limitation."
Ihe bill then sets torth the amounts which
each partner agreed to contribute towards the
capital of the firm, and the proportions In
which they were to share the prodts and losses.
The compfninant further avers, that each part
ner was to be at liberty to draw out of the con
tern the sum of $2000 per annum as a salary,
which was to be charged, to tbe expense ac
count, and the complainant then sets oat that
Joseph T. Vankirk, having the exclusive con
trol of the financial business or the Arm, was
guilty of certain acts of misfeasance in fraud
of the complainant, which are specifically de
scribed In twelve articles of the bill, and which
will be considered hereafter. .
The complainant does not attach to his bill a
copy of the partnership articles.
This is furnished by tbe defendants In their
answer.
The agreement thus exhibited to us contains
several clauses in addition to those recited in
the bill.
Bv one of these it Is declared that "the said
copartnership is to continue until dissolved
Dy mutual consent, ur uim.ii six uiuuiua uuer
either partner shi.ll have Riven to the others
written notice of nis aesire ana intention to
determine the same, In which latter case, at the
expiration of said six mnth, the partnership la
to ue oifisoivea ana enaea."
Another section of tbe agreement provides
that
"In case of the termination or dissolution of
the partnership In any other wav than by death,
and any ditf'erences shall arise Ictieeen ihe
said parties in respect to ihe tomding up and
sMment of the business of the partnership,
such differences shal'. be submitted to an arbitra
tion, but in this latter case, each of said
partners shall choose an arbitrator."
Then follows a clause by which It was de
clared that if any two of said partners should
desire to purchase the Interest ot a deceased or
retiring partner, they should be at liberty to do
so; "provided that nothing shall have occurred
to weaken or impair the credit or business-
standing of said two partners."
The defendants submit upon these clauses cf
the agreement that the complainant, not haviE
given the six months' notice to dissolve the
Eartnership, cannot come Jnto Court with tlis
ill; and they furtherniote contend with great. '
earnestness that the agreement providing for
au arbitration is the law ot the case by which
the complainant is bouud. The point, If suc
cessfully maintained, would put the complain
ant out of Court. The defendants cite in sup
port of their position, Snoderas vs. Oavitt (4
Casey, 221), and Leech vs. Caldwell (Legal In
telliqencer, Nov. 16, I860, p. 304).
The complainant, on the other hand, contends
that no arbitrator can be appointed under fie
articles until afitr a dissolution, and that his
case is saved by the proviso above quoted, "that
nothing sball have occurred to weaken or im
pair the creditor business standing of baid two
partners;" and he insists that the admissions of
the answer, that there had been three protests,
aud the evidence submitted, clearly established
his allegation, "that the credit and business
standing" of tho firm have b.-en weakened and
impaired.
The testimony on this branch of the case is,
however, very direct: thut the protests referred
to were mere accidents which could hardly, in
any case, affect tbe credit of a partnership; and
that they did not, in thts instance, impair the
busings si.uiding ot the firm. Two of these
protests occurred on the 2d of June, I860, and
the third and last on the 16th of the same
month. They were, together, for less than
$1000. The book-keeeper, upon whom all the
partners relied to advise them of the maturing
of outstanding drafts, was sick and absent from
the counting-room. A large amount of money
was in bank, the drafts were all promptly taken
up tbe morning succeeding the protests, and
proper explanations made to the holder of the
drafts and to the banks.
It the complainant's answer to these prelimi
nary objections rested solely upon this matter
cf the drafts, I should feel constrained, as to
this branch of the cae, to decide against him.
An examination of the decisions upon this
subject has, however, satisfied me that, not
withstanding the stipulation requiring six
months' nonce of an intention to dissolve, and
the clause providing for an arbitration, this
Court would, In a proper case, have undoubted
jurisdiction to entertain a bill for a dissolution
and receiver.
The objections of the defendants appear to
lose sight of the clear and well-defined distinc
tions between a mere agreement to arbitrate and
a stipulation constituting a designated person
the tribunal to determine certain questions
which may arise or may have arisen between
the contracting parties. Where a contract pro
vides for the determination of a contractor's
claims by the judgment of a particular person,
until he has spoken, no right arises which can
be enforced at law or in equity. This is the
vital point of the decisions cited by tho
defendants.
The English case of 8oott vs. Liverpool (28
Law Journal Rep., N. 8., Chanc. 230; S De Uex
and Jones, 334) is to the same effect. And such
au agreement was applied to existing actions
and enforced in Hooper vs. Hooper (29 Law
Journal Kep., N. S., Probate and -Matrimonial,
60) by staying the suit, and by attachment in
Williams vs. Lewis (7 Kilts and Blackburn, 629).
It is very true that this application of the law
may work great hardship In particular cases, of
which Leech vs. Caldwell may be a type. But
it should always td borne in mind that this
result is not Imputable to the law. She simply
holds a party here, as everywhere, to his con
tract, and refers him to the tribunal ot his own
free choice.
I have not, however, been able to nnd any
case in which a Court has given this effect to a
mere agreement to arbitrate, and no such case
was cited by the learued and able counsel of the
defendants.
On the contrary, the distinction above ad
verted to has oeen recognized in Snodgrass vs.
Javitt and 8cott vs.. Liverpool, already cited,
and has been followed in Horton vs. Sayers
(29 Law Jul. Rep. N. S. Kxc h. 2. 4 Hurlston
and Norman Exchequer, 64S), and in Cook vs.
Catchpole (34 Law J. R 1865, N. 8. Chancery,
r'lnliorton vs. Payers, the coal lease contained
a clause prohibiting the bringing of any action
at law or in equity without submitting to arbi
tration. The Court held that this clause was
void as ousting the jurisdiction of the Courts.
A very strong arbitration clause is to oe
found in the partnership agreement ,peporta
in Cook vs. Catchpole; and the e'endant
moved for a cessat under section 11 or the com
mou Law Procedure act, which provides for a
stay where parties have a greed to "tvfjv0'
