Whether such a claim to exemption mizbt not be allowed in this ease under the third clause of the section, cannot be determined with the proofs before me, since there is no €yidence olfered that the mother is either aged or infirm.” In the case of clerks of naval or military commanders. OPINION. “1 see no sufficient reason for treating the clerks of naval er military commanders, as in the wilitary service, within the meaning of the Enrolling act.” In the cate of a widuw having taree sons, two of whom are in the paral service. OPINION. “Tn the case ofa widow having three sons, two of whom &re in the nuva! service, the law murt be held to exempt the third, provided tae mother is dependent on his labor for her sup- port. The object of the law was to prevent Gestitute widows froin being entirely deprived of eupport, by having their sons forced imtothe military service; but this object would be de- teated in the case named, if, with two sons in the bavy, the third, and only one remaining, could be drafted.’” Tn the care of & person convicted of felony and pardoned before the parss.ce os the Enroliment act. OPINION. “A person convicted of felony and pardoned before the par-age of the Enrollment act, is ex- empt from the draft, The language of the act is wiihout guelification a declares that‘no persen who been convicied of any felony, shail be enrolled, or permitted to serve in said forces.” Inthe cause of persons draited into the mil- itary service who ure now in service on board Governm Tos are publ e of ali office t Colonel al, idanc pa uncer 12 yeers of age hus married he may nd his wife be elieved to be a er is not of the act In the case o: & Widow having two sons, oue of Whom is @ cripple or invalid. OPINION. “A widow having two sons, oue of whom is a cripple or a hopeless avalid, disabled irem disen.e for the military -ervice, the other is exempt, provided bis motuer is dependent on his labor for her support. The condition, however, of the invalid son’ must be, not a tmporary disability, but one chronic in its character.” In cases where deserters are offered as sub- stitutes, OPINION. “The Board o: Enrollment is charged with the duty, of determining whether a subsiitute offered is ‘acceptable’ or not. The Board must necessarily have the power of ascertainingand deciding whether he is a deserter, or whether he? under a presentobligation to perform mil- ary service on his Own account, which of course would diequality him from serving asa subsutute. Over this question they have an original jurisdiction, and are not bound to @WALL 116 Soluuion by any other tribunal, civil ormilitary It is not necessary that the sub- siitute preeented should baye been fourd or decided to be a Geserter by a military court to justity the Board of Enrelimeut in declaring that be is not ‘acceptable.’ If he is proved be- tore tne Board t> be a deserter, or if the testi- mouy furnishes reasonable ground for the be- liet that he is obligation of the principal is certain and ahso- lute, and cannot be cancelled by a substitute of doubitul qualifications.” In the case where one son of azed or infirm prrente is in the iiist class, and two or more in the second class. OPINION. «Where there is one son in the first, and two ormere in ihe second class, subject to draft, the latter are within the meaning of the 4th pro- vision of the 2d section of the aci, as liable to draft.” Tn the case where only one of the parents is aged or infirm. OPINION. «The only son of purents dependent on his labor for their support, is not exempt, it but oue of the parents is aged or infirm. The sup- 0, he should be rejected. The | posed divavility which gives rise to the exemp- tion, must apply to both.” In the case where one son is in the service and another has furvished « substitute. OPINION... “A son who bas furnished asubstitute should be treated as in the service, for Al the purposes ol the exemption secured by the 7th clause of the 2d section of the aci. It isthe amonnt of contribution to the military service made by the members of the same family that is the basis of the exemption; and itis wholly imma- terial whether this contribution be made per- sonally or through substitute.” James B.
