Betore Judge Troy. In re Charles Meyers, a Minor.—In July last the parents of Charles Meyers, a youth of eighteen years, residents of New Brunswick, New Jersey, made ap- Plication in the Kings County Court, vefore Judge Troy, fora writ of habeas corpus in the case of their son, @ minor, who is held in confinement as a deserter from the United States Army at Fort Hamil- ton. It appears that Meyers enlisted in the regular army about four years ago, but deserted after serving one year. On the 14th of July last he was ar- rested by the United States authorities as a deserter and was incarcerated in the guard house at Fort Hamilton until his parents discovered his whereabouts, when they at once appealed to the County Court, and obtained from Judge Troy an order for the discharge of Meyers, Whose enlistment ‘Was illegal, masmuch as he is a minor, and the con- pont his parents was not given to his being enlisi- ed in the army—such consent being necessary in auch cases, The order of the Court was issued on the 24h of July, and he was immediately dis- charged, but was some time after rearrested. A hew writ of haveas corpus was then issued by the Conrt, which was made returnable yesterday morning. At the appointed time the commandant of the post at Fort Hamilton, Brigadier General Vogdes, and Brevet Lieutenant Colonel J. H. Coun- selman, United States Army, appeared on behalf of the government, and Assistant District Attorney Pearsall for the prisoner. As the latter did not make his appearance in court, no proceedings beyond the issue of an attachment took piace. General Vogdes informed the Judge that he baa been ordered by the War Department to retain the custody of the man.and not to surrender him. Judge Troy replied the law of the State makes it a misdemeanor to rearrest a persgn discharged by a competent court upon a writ of habeas corpus for the same offence, and no order of a Secretary of War or any other official can legalize the arrest, Those who detain a prisoner arrested under such circumstances incor @ penalty of $1,250, to be re- covered in @ civil action. General Vogdes said that the writ had not been served upon him personaily, and was about to argue the case, when the Judge informed him that any argument in the case could only be informal, as no retura had been made to the writ by the production of the prisoner. Wile the Court was will- ing to grant the government all the time necessary to make proper return the law must be obeyed. If the boy was not produced in court in obedience to the writ, he should be compelled to issne an attach- ment against those who detained him tn custody. ‘The General regretted that any complication should arise from the case between the State courts and the national authorities, and desired further time to conier with his superier officer. ‘The case was finally adjourned, at the request of the General, until Tuesday next.
