STIOBEDITCII COUNTY COURT.
(Before Mr. Dasent.)

TAX COLLECTORS AND TAX PAYERS. -SINGULAR CASE. -
RILEY V. NORDHEIM.

This was an action to recover a sum of money for cer-
tain rates paid by plaintiff for defendant. The plaintiff is
one of the collectors of.rates for the parish of Shoreditch,
and he knew the defendant. He now deposed that he had
on more than one occasion called upon defendant for Wes,
and, finding that defendant was not prepared to pay them,
had advanced the money himself, and allowed defendant
to repay hint within a certain time. Upon a recent occa-
sion he paid some poor rates for the defendant, and when
he applied to defendant for the money, Mr. Nordheim re-
fused to reimburse him. He had acted as a friend in paying
this money. When the books were looked over he was
directed to press certain parties, and he paid the money fur
defendant in a friendly manner.
Mr. Earle (Astley and Earle) said that it would be a bad
precedent for the court to say that a collector of rates could
pay the money due by a ratepayer out of his own pocket,
and then sue for it. It was clear plaintiff was still liable
to the parish. •

His Honour thought the defence hardly a fair ono, and
could not understood how a person who had been served
by a gentleman in the position of the plaintiff could set it
up. His Honour was of opinion that plaintiff was entitled
to sue for the money in the form of money advanced to
the defendant's use. At one time the money stood in -the-
form of rates, but when plaintiff paid those rates, their
character was changed, so-far at 3
was concerned. I:
was a pure monetary transaction.. Plaintiff must have a
verdict with costs.
Verdict for the plaintiff.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

Naval and Military Intelligence.

Lord Henry Lennox, First Secretary to the Board
of Admiralty, yesterday paid a visit of inspection to
the works and departments of Woolwich dockyard.
His lordship, accompanied by Commodore Edmou-
stone, superintendent of the yard, paid a lengthened
visit on board the hydraulic iron-cased ship Water-
witch, in course of fitment in the outer basin, and
also the building shed in which the new troopship
Thalia is to bo constructed. The ship's keel is in
course of being trimmed and prepared for laying
down without delay.

ller Majesty's iron steam storeship Supply, Staff
Commander Bawden, laden with victualling and
dockyard stores from Deptford and Woolwich, hav-
ing adjusted compasses at Greenhithe, sailed yester-
day thence to call at Plymouth, on her way to Rio
Janeiro and Ascension, her ordinary trip to the Me-
diterranean having been rendered unnecessary in
consequence of the Megmra having been despatched
in place of the Supply, while under repairs in clock
at Woolwich.

The following Admiralty order has been received
at Woolwich, dated Oct. 17 :

" With reference to Circular No. 8 of the 16th of Decem-
ber, 1861, directing that no now entries of seamen are to be
made from the shore, or from merchant ships, except on
foreign stations, under certain restrictions, my Lords are
pleased to relax those instructions, and to order that men
may be entered 'a home as well as abroad who have pre-
viously served in the Royal Navy, with good characters, or
in the first-class for conduct, and that well-grown, healthy
men, under the age of 30, may be entered from the mer-
chant service, provided they produce certificates of good
conduct from the vessels in which they shall have been last
employed, and aro considered in all respects eligible to be
rated first-class, or ordinary, or able seaman.—By command
of their lordships, • " IlEsnY G. LENNOX."

We have seldom had a more interesting Houghton meet-

night no less than 290 horses had competed for 39 races,
Lord Westmoreland having won four prizeS, the Marquis
of Hastings and Baron Rothschild three each, Messrs. S.
Thellusson, R. Ten Broeck, Chaplin, and P. Pryor two
each, the Prince D. Soltykoff, the Duke of Beaufort,

George Fordham had ridden eight winners during the
first four days of the trysting, and little Kenyon six, whilst
Custance, Wells, and Cannon scored three victories.

principal Oaks candidates for next year that distin-
guished themselves, and the leading Derby aspirants
included Dragon, Julius, Marksman, and Vauban.
A lot of horses that have been "assisting" at the meeting
have returned to their home quarters, nevertheless we
had a large number at exercise this morning. Broadalbano
was in good work at last, probably with a view to
throw down the gauntlet for the Lincoln Autumn

Charming, Plutus, Chapel Royal, and another or
two engaged. Friday went a mile and three-quarters, and
Plutus a mile and a half, both going a great pace, andpull-
lug up fresh. Chapel Royal did barely a mile and a quar-
ter. Troubadour was preparing fur Worcester. Lord
Lyon and Rustic each did a couple of miles, gently, this
morning, and both moved freely ; as did Lothario, Doctor
Syntax, Sealskin, Benvoglio, Claxton, Dalesman, and

and a half, gently. Among the two-yr-olds in quiet
