IMPORTANT DxcisIoN.--On Saturday an enlisted
soldier In the army was brought before Judge Kcl-
ly, on writ OF habcas corpus from Fort Mifflin.
His father asserts that he is unjustly held by Capt
Joseph Roberts, stationed Fort Miffiin alleging
that Daniel Is minor and that he enlisted without
his (the fathcr's) consent
Judge Kelly said, that where the Government or
the United States had passed laws enabling cti-
zen Of the State to obtain remedy for an alleged
grievance, the comfy existing between the United
States and the State OF Pennsylvania dc cmandcd,
that the latter should not interfere with its author
ity until the person aggricyed should have sought
the remedy provided by the former, unless It's ac-
ton wac calculated TO infringe law Of the State of
Pennsylvania, or unnecessarily delay would result
from the action ofthe United States. AS the rem
edy pointed out by the United States had not been
invoked in this case. he would continue the case
until the 10th day OF February, for the purpose Of
giving the parties an opportunity to make ap-
piication TO the Secretary Of War. in accordance
with section 5th Of the act of September, 1850
This is the first decision under the act in this
State, and, 50 far as aware. any other State
u Is important to parents and minors who enlist
without their appreciation, "a it will enable parents
10 obtain the discharge Of their children without
in 'urrng the expense and delay Of travelling hun
drcds o! miles to obtain writ of Labcas corpus
