There being two submissions, one general of all claims excepting one particular, and thereafter a submission of that particular claim to the same arbiters, but without any general clause; the arbiters gave one decreet on both, and inter alia, by mistake, ordered general mutual discharges of all claims prior to the date of the second submission. One of the parties objected this as a total nullity of the decreet-arbitral, though he did not pretend to have any new claim arising after the date of the first general submission; but we thought it was no nullity in the decreet. There have been many decreets-arbitral that ordered such discharges of all claims prior to the decreet, which, though erroneous and ultra vires as to claims after the submission, yet were never found to annul the decreet as to the matters submitted.
