“The original of the Douglas award had not been traced and the evidence with regard to it was entirely oral. The Judge was of the opinion that the defendants had not called evidence of a sufficiently thorough search for the original to entitle them to give oral evidence of the award, but he nevertheless admitted and considered the oral evidence.”
