Nobleman's tally (5)

I believe the answer is:

count

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'nobleman's' is the first definition.
(count is a type of aristocrat)

'tally' is the second definition.
(I know that tally can be written as count)

(Other definitions for count that I've seen before include "Determine number of; foreign nobleman" , "regard" , "Nobleman - enumerate" , "Tell - foreign nobleman" , "earl abroad" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
