By the operation of the Conscription Act, they are now held beyond the period for which they enlisted, and for the war. They moreover alleged that they are subjects of Hanover, and came to this country several years since for the purpose of making a visit and seeing their relations. They never contemplated citizenship, either in the United States, but had always determined to remain subjects of Hanover. They claim that their residence in the United States, and afterwards in the Confederate States, was hut transient; that they had never established in either a domicil; that their allegiance was still due to the country from which they had come, and that there was no ground upon which they could he held to military service in the Confederate States. 1 Judge Mngrath, in a long and elaborate ' opinion, sustained the Conscription Act, and 1 1 l 1 * 1 ? 1 1 ? %\ i neici iii.it, alien resicn.nis were aticeteit with al1 of the liabilities it imposed.
