A fur aa inter- , val of a few days, be obtained a eew writ of 1 habeas corpus. To tbis writ tbe return is, that he was duly drafted, that he applied I* tba Beard for exdmpliou oo tbo ground < that be was above thirty five year* of age and. married, and that the "board, having - heard his- allegations and evjdeoce. finally • i related to allow. bis claim of exemption, , and that he remained cader the control of , the pro.vuat-tnarahal of tba district. Tha purpose of the return la to raUe tbe ( question whether the coort cen inquire into thetrutb of Hte petitioner's allegation, aud, if its truth should be aatabiiaEed, can liba- • rate Mas front a wrongful control of mili1 lary power. 1 The argument for iho negative is. that j ■ tha 14th section of the act required him to present his application to the Board of Eni roUment, jod has made tbeir decision final, jWhat may, is tbis revpect, bo the effect of j ' the 14th section, where it applies, will be! deeidgd id another cate. which la now ^ undflr yonsiderati.m. However thii may j ' be decided, that section of tbo act is in- j ' applicable to the present caso. The argument that the section applies to I * it assumes that tbe petitioner claims ex- ■ emplion from military duty. Such is out i the case. He Is liable to perform the . doty, and claims co exemption. He merely ( allfgea that in making* the prescribed claw , lification of persona liable under the act, a mistake at to him haa occurred, and that he belopga, in truth, to tbe class of thou p who, though not exempt, canoot, for tbe j present, be called loto service. Neither i- the jprimory mistake, if it occurred at alx legetf. nor the subsequent refusal of the a Board, in that case, to correct aucb a mi*-, a take, should be prejudicial to bim. Tbe e i truth of bis allegation is. therefore, a proi, por subject of inquiry. k. ~* FROM EUROPE. ; SBBCL 11UATXS aPlLOlSn AK» Brr*IRINO IS
