Wilson, J.—I will not trouble you, Mr. Branson. I think Mr. Phillips is right in saying that this is a contract to refer to arbitration, and that he is right in saying that the present suit is brought in respect of the subject-matter which the parties had agreed to refer to arbitration. But I think that before Section 21 of the Specific Relief Act can be relied upon, it must be shown that the plaintiff had refused to refer to arbitration. I do not think that the filing of the plaint is such a refusal. I, therefore, hold that nothing has been shown under the section to bar the present suit.
