DECISION.
of Judge Roland Jones.
W. Potter, ) This case
vs. came before,
W. It. Shivers, me under writ
Conmmludant of the of habeas cor
Post at Shreveport. Corpus. The
relator clainmi ng to be discharged from
arrest and from duty as a conscript in
company C, 3,1d La. Infantry, by rea
s _on of tile fact that he has been so dis
charged for tihe reason of his being
lunder 17 years of age, by the Milita
tary Court fior this I)-pt., now sitting
at Shrevepo-'r, and, by reiaSon of the
furtlher falct, that i:,: is under 17 years
of age. The relator was chargid
with deserting, and,. on trial for that
offence before the M ilitarvy Court ex
1 cepted to the jurisd ictiohn o" the Court,
Sion the groulnl that le was noOt legal
ly a soldier, b,'inug nlll.iIer 17 years of
P '1, ald conlcri)ptd. That Court
susitained the plia and dist:hargid
the relator firom the ciharge of d:l'sr
tiou, and from duty as a soldier, and
this judgin.it is plheald before iire as
ta final judgment, and one that should
be respected by this Court. I tom
satisii'ed it is a jiligmenrt that should
have been obeyed by the military
tauthorities. I amn not satisfied that
ir judgmenrt sustainilg a pica to a jiu
e risdiction of a Court is suce a judg
inent as thllis Cuurt ought to regard
as settling the q ltestion of whether
"t the relator is under the conscript ago
ii or not, so that I express no opinion
hi on that point.
,.t; Ti:relator, however, has offered
,d lproof befiore me that lie will not be
17 y,.ears of age before the 22d
I1 arch inst., and on that ground I
he order himir tob e discharged from the
n' servic as a soldier, until he shall ar
'rive at the ioni:crilpt age.
S "l'hre dcf':~tdnrtt takes the position
in his aiswer, that "hle can exercise no
e "authority except that which is con
'i .t-"rred by law anl orders from his
i' ,..superiors, and that he has no author
Sity to release any one fromt military
er ' .rice, except by authority fromthe
ur'.- Cominalndin General, anTd that he
