in cotton goods; and they purchased largely from the respondents. They gave an order for goods, to the extent of £6000, to be exported to New York and the West Indies; on delivery of these, they objected to a great part of the goods as of inferior quality. This dispute was submitted to arbiters; and the arbiters found in favour of the respondents. The appellants then brought a reduction of the decree arbitral. The Court of Session repelled the reasons of reduction, sustained the defence, and decerned. Affirmed in the House of Lords.
Counsel: For Appellants, Wm. Adam, J. Macfarlane.
For Respondents, Sir Samuel Romilly, Fra. Horner.
