The name of the plaintiff was given on the writ, said counsel, as "The Queen of Holland, suing as a married woman."

Mr. Justice Tomlin: What is the defence to this motion?

Mr. C. A. Bernett, K.C. (for the Queen of Holland): My submission is that the reference to the en- forcement of the laws of a foreign State is to the pennl laws, and that an exception is made in the case of the revenue. laws. Here there in a debt due from one of the de- fendants to the plaintiff, and you will not find in any of the books any authority for the proposition that these courts will not enforce a claim made by a foreign State to enforce payment of a tax properly imposed, provided there is jurisdic tion.

200-Years-Old Rules.

Giving his decision, Mr. Justice Tomlin said that there was a well- know rule which had beer enforced in this country for at least 200 years, under which these courts would not collect the taxes of A

foreign State for the benefit of that foreign State, and this was one of those actions coming in that category which the courts would not entertain. That being so, the application must succeed.

He; struck out the statement of A claim and dismissed the action, and said that is the Queen of Holland had submitted to the jurisdiction of that court there must be an order to pay the costs of the application and of the action.

The plaintiffs then sued Mesara. Green and Collier for their full loss on the contract with the principal on whose behalf Messrs. Green and Collier had purported to act and for all their costs in the litigation against that prin- cipal.

When the case was tried be fore the Acting Chief Justice the defendants, among

other defences, sought to prove a gen- eral custom in Singapore that| non-guarantee brokers who have named their principal and who have entered into a written con- tract in his name are not liable for damages if it turns out either- that they had no such principal or that such principal repudiates before confirming the contract in other words, that non-guar-
