by the said arbitrators before they shall have entered
on the reference; and the decision of such arbitrators
or umpire shall be final and binding on both parties.
(d.) Every such arbitration shall be carried on in
the manner prescribed by "The Supreme Court

or which may be expressed or implied in his lease, and
shall allow such default to continue for three calendar

declaration hereunder, his lease shall thereupon
absolutely determine, and the lands included in the

revert to the lessor, without any payment whatso-
