Sir:
The declaration of William Carr has been found defective in as much as the applicant had not stated the duration of his service tour -- He says, he "did not serve the whole time and himself, but before it "expired he hired a substitute, who was received in his "stead, and served out the remainder of the time."
No allowances are made for service performed by substitute. The papers are returned.
