tried in court, in the same manner as if it had never been re-
ferred.

6. In every case where an award shall be made upon such re-
ference, the party in whose favor the award shall be given shall
cause a copy thereof to be delivered to the adverse party, or his
attorney, at least three days before judgment is moved for
thereon, and the clerk shall not enter judgment upon any award
returned without a motion to, and direction from the court, and
the court shall always have satisfactory proof by the parties'
own oath, or otherwise, that a copy has been delivered to the
adverse party or his attorney, before judgment shall be directed
to be entered thereon.

7. The several Orphans' Courts of this State shall have power,
with the consent of both parties, to be entered on their proceed-
ings, to arbitrate between a claimant and an executor or admi-
nistrator, or between an executor and a person against whom he
has a claim, or the dispute may by the parties be referred to any
person or persons approved by the Orphans' Court.

8. No award made under an order of the Orphans' Court re-
turned to said court, shall be confirmed until after notice of the
award shall have been given to the parties to the reference or
their representatives, and any party may file exceptions, or show
cause against the award, upon any ground on the face of it or
extrinsic thereto, and the court may confirm or reject the same
and remand the case to the referees for a new award, or appoint
new referees.

9. The Orphans' Court may make such rules respecting the
notice to be given in cases of awards and exceptions, and show-
ing cause and a hearing in the premises, as they deem reasonable.
