METROPOLITAN WARRANTS RECEIVABLE
FOR CITY TAxEs.-Last week Police Com
missioner Raynal, in company with bis con-
frere, MIR. William Baker, visited the City
Hall for the purpose of paying his taxes.
He offered a police warrant, one that he
had earned himself. Mr.. Walton informed
him that certain portion of the bill must
be paid in currency, which Mr.. Raynal an
ticipated would be the answer. On the re-
fusal Mr.. Raynal called on notary public
and put in his protest, principally on the
following State law, which is printed on the
end of the warrants, and which reads as
follows:
This warrant is receivable for all licenses,
taxes and debts due, or to become due, to
the parishes Of Orleans, Jefferson and St.
Bernard, and the cities of New Orleans and
Carrollton, up to the amount of the appor-
tiOnment assessed by the Board of Metro
pOlitan Police Commissioners against said
parishes and cities respectively, on the
second day of October, 1871, for the fiscal
year ending September 80, 1872.
wide section |, act Al, approved February
26, 1901
This reads very plain, and those who
earn police warrants think that if there is
any good in the law they should have the
benefit of it, directly or indirectly. Now
that this fact is published we expect to see
warrants improve in value.

From Bells Life, Nov. 30.l
The schooner yacht Helen put into Corunna on
the 10th inst She experienced heavy weather In
the bay, and pitched away her foremast two days
before arriving in Corunna.
The Zouave, schooner, has been lent for the
Winter by the Lord Chief Justice, and has been
lying at Southampton for some days awaiting
slant Of wind for start to the Mediterranean.
The latest addition on the outward pound list OF
yachts is the French Marguerite, advertised largely
in the south coast journals being 'now ready to
start from Paris for New York" The Marguerite IL
tons measurement and is announced to can at
Lisbon. Madeira, the Canares. Green Island q,
mond, Washington and Philadelphia, stopping
eight days at each place named, and we suppose IL
period. The proprietor OF the Marguerite mag
unanimously offers to bear the expense OF the trip
the position Of people whose names are attached TO
the advertisement the intention s doubtless bona
fde, and there Is really fine opportunity for any
quartet contemplating suicide.
The stem and stern post Of a new schooner,
ordered Of Mr.. NJ. Ratsey, Of Cowes have been this
week got in position. She is Intended for COM
fortabe cruising craft and as she is very like the
Nina, by the same builder, will yet be very slightly
little craft. The principal dimensions are-Length
over all, SO feet; breadth lextreme), II feet;
draught OF water, 10 feet SIX lnches tonnage, 100
tons builders measurement. She is to the order OF
The Esthonia, which Mr. Ashbury built as an ex-
pertinent, and which from the depths OF uglness
@ at h and
by the bow, is also on the slip. Both craft we hear
are In the market We were somewhat disap-
pointed to see SO little doing, such vessels the
Corisande,. Myosotis, Kriemhida, &C., should have
brought full yard.
We hear that the famous Luna viii have thor
ough racing outfit for next season-lead, racing
sails, new copper, nc.
Count Batthyany's cutter Kriemhilda is under
going alteration at Fay's yard, Southampton. she
Is having moulded lead fitted to the bottom from
below the rabbit of keel upwards. and covering
some sixteen feet in the centre OF the vessel The
bow, we hear, Is also to be altered.
The Sapph0 is lying up COwes harb0r, but not
dismantled, as Mr.. Douglas has been expected this
week at Cowes and the yacht is likely to get
orders for the Mediterranean.
Mr.. T. Chamberlayne has given orders for altera-
tion of the famous old Arrow We hear that he in

ing her back to the channels, widening her on deck
aft and naring the topsides along her entire length
She is also to have new decks, giving the deck
beams more round. When these alterations are
effected the Arrow OF "Auld lang syne'' will be
scarcely recognizable.

Before Judge Joachimsen.
stephen Wood VS.. John W. Salter.-This action
was brought by the plaintiff to recover from the
defendant the sum Of $19s 10. 1t appears that on
the I'd of October 1859. the plaintiff sold to the de-
fendant house and lot at SIS, ,50O free OF all en-
cumbrances. At ths time OF the purchase the prop
erty was subject to lien OF s19s 10 as an assess
ment for paving East Nineteenth street with
NlcOlson pavement, and Of which the defendant
was made acquainted, but which assessment the
plantin expected to be able to vacate. The defend
ant retained the amount OF the lien for the purpose
OF securing himself against the assessment In case
OF the plaintiffs failure to have 1t vacated. During
the pending OF the action in the Supreme Court to
vacate the defendant was notified by the Collector
OF Assessments that unless the assessment was
paid the property would be sold. Upon that notih-
cation he paid under protest $249 94-which In
cluded interest and costs. In November, 1871, the
assessment was vacated by an order or the Su-
prem6 Court, when the plaintir demanded the
amount OF the lien-$l9S 10-of the defendant, who
refused to pay 1t.
