where application is made for the balance of
the recruit bounty. The Comptroller decided
that he was discharged by reason of the close
of the war. lie is entitled to the balance Of the
bounty the same Is though he had remained
with his regiment. The fact of his being trans
ferred 70 the Veteran Reserve Corps and dis
charged from the organization, does not effect
his right TO the bounty TO which he was en-
titled under his enlistment. In case of a rep
resentatiye substitute for u person not liable

the same bounty rs other recruits enlisted at
