HABEAs CORPUS CAsE.-A hearing was had
yesterday before Mr.. Justice Clifford, in cham
bers, Samuel B. Stackpole, petitioner, VS.. Maj.
Charles J. Whiting, for the body of Eugene
Stackpole, minor son of petitioner, who had
enlisted as q substitute In the United States
land service.
1t appeared that the son was anxious to 60,
that he had not lived with his father for more
than two years, and that he willingly enlisted
and received about $3.50. The father, hearing
of the enlistment by his son, petitioned for his
discharge on the ground of his being minor,
and that he had never given his consent to his
enlistment. 8
Judge Clifford ordered the discharge of the
young man upon the repayment of $500, the
amount Of the Communication fee. The soldier
was remanded into the custody of the Marshal
until to-day, in order to give the father an OPP
portunity of raising the money, if he could, as
the son absolutely refused to refund any por-
ton Of the amount he had received, and ex-
pressed his desire Of serving his country.
