¹ The principles laid down in sections 395 and 396 in the Kunhardt and Barrington cases differ from the principles applied by the recent Spanish Treaty Claims Commission, principle No. 8. See American Journal of International Law, October, 1910, pp. 810-11. The author considered the awards of domestic commissions beyond the purview of his work, although he has summarized a few of their awards. It is submitted that the awards of domestic commissions such as that under the Act of March 3, 1849 (Mexican claims), sind the recent Spanish Treaty Claims Commission are,fully as important for the purpose of ascertaining international arbitral law as those of strictly international tribunals. In all essential respects they are international tribunals, the only difference consisting in the national character of the judges.
