1Opinion of the Court
Shippen C. J.
The court cannot strike out part of an award, but they can confirm a part and set aside the residue, which in this case will have the same effect. That part of the report which relates to Burnes alone must therefore be set aside, and judgment be entered for the joint debt.
Judgment accordingly.
