Plaintiff’s contention was that the referees agreed between them that the value of the tenant right to be paid to plaintiff was £83 19s. — Mr. Young: I say they did not agree, and that is the point. — Mr. Shaw read the correspondence which had taken place between the referees on which the case turned. It appeared from the letters that plaintiff’s referee had quoted £83 19s as the amount offered by defendants’ referee for his consideration. Defendant’s referee replied to the letter without calling the figures in question. Plaintiff’s referee then said he would accept the offer, but the defendant’s referee thereupon denied the accuracy of the figures. The referees would no doubt have come to a settlement, but they met in Birmingham, and the defendant’s referee used some bad language without provocation, which caused the negotiations to be broken off. — Evidence for the plaintiff was called, and his Honour found that there was nothing proved which would bind the defendant to accept the £83 19s. Verdict for defendant.
