Appeal from Clark Circuit Court.

Hon. L. B. Green, Circuit Judge.

Hempstead, Solicitor General, for the County.

Flanagin, contra.

Mr. Justice Fairchild

delivered the opinion of the court.

Scott produced his account to the Cark County Court for two quires of blank executions, at $1 25 per quire, which was shown by the evidence to have been furnished on application of the clerk of the Circuit Court, for the use of his office. The amount claimed, $2 50, is proved to be a reasonable charge.

The history of the case, from the County Court up to this Court, is the same as that of Clark County vs. Spence.

The 8th section of chapter 30, of English's Dig., requires the clerk to provide suitable books, stationery, furniture, and other things necessary for his office.

These the clerk is to provide, but what the law exacts of him to provide, is not for his own benefit, but what is necessary for his office; books, furniture and stationery that are suitable for the preservation of the county i'ecords, in which every citizen *468of the comity is interested, furniture for their proper keeping, stationery with which the business of the office is to be done, and whatever else is necessary for the office, for all which the ■ county ought to pay.

And that the county would pay for the things provided, under the authority of the section cited, we think is the meaning of the statute.

The County Court should have allowed Scott’s account. The law authorized and required it to be done.

True economy, the despatch and accuracy of public business are greatly promoted by the use of such blanks as were charged for in the account.

The Circuit Court did right in reversing the judgment of the County Court, but should not have remanded the case to the County Court.

The judgment of the Circuit Court is reversed, with instructions to reverse the judgment of the County Court, and set the case for trial anew in the Circuit Court.
