the military boo
I sr2bmit, Tour Worship, that, in the first place, to
prove a desertion, there muss be proof of enlistment. I am
instructed to say he was never enlisted at all ; but, before
I prove that, I again contend that there is no evidence

Clough's portrait gallery, and let his likeness be taken and
sent to the regiment, andlet him be remanded for a week,
-and, in the meantime, it can be ascertained if he is a
-deserter.
