our late exchanges, were the first to dash into the
Potomac, giving cheer after cheer as they sprang

The PROBATE CoURT.--TWo cases Of no Htt
interest have been recently decided in the Pro
bate Court Of this county.
One was the case Of Captain Of cavalr,
company, who resigned about the middle o.
March, and was arrested on an execution fol
debt. A writ Of ha6eGs corpus was sued out for
his release. The act OF our Legislature, Of
May l, 1861, exempts the real and personal
property OF any person who may belong to the
militia Of this State, and who shall be mustered
into the service Of the United States, under any
requisition of the President, from sale on exc.
cution, and bis personal property from levy on
execution during the time he shall remain IN
such service and two months thereafter. 1t was
claimed that az the property was exempt from
sale, the person must be, JoytiOri, free from
arrest.
Fl. T Chttenden appeared as counsel for the
Captain, and Judge Rankin for the respondent.
Judge Albery was Of opinion, that if there
was doubt whether the person Of the debtor,
In the case before the Court, was not exempt
from arrest, that doubt should be resolved In
favor of The liberty Of the citizen; but he dec-
ded the case mainly upon the ground that no
sufficient cause was shown for the Captain's
arrest and detention, and he was, therefore, dis
charged from the custody Of the sheriff.
The other case also arose on q writ OF habeas
corpus. sued out by John Robinson, Of Licking
county, for the discharge of his SOD, Alonzo,
from service in the 18th United States infantry.
who, he alleged, was under eighteen years of
age. The second section OF the act of Con
gress, relating to the recruiting service, spproy.
ed March l3, 1862, is in these words -
That the fifth section of the act of the 2eth
of September, 1850, providing for the discharge
Of minors enlisted without the consent of their
parents or guardians, be and the same is here
by repealed: Provided, that hereafter no per-
mustered into the service, and the oath of en-
listment taken by the recruit shall be conclusive
as to hisage. q a W.. j u ~
On the hearing of the case, 1t was claimed
by the respondent that the oath Of enlistment
was conclusive upon the recruit and all other
persons that the production of that oath was
a sufficient answer to the writ, and that inquiry
could not be had beyond it, +
Judge Albsry held in substance that, though
the oath of enlistment was conclusive as to his
age upon the recruit himself, and exonerated
the military authorities from all responsibility
or censure, it did not preclude the parent or
guardian from showing that his child or ward
was under eighteen years Of age, and his conse-
quent right to the service and custody of such
child or ward.
