Liability of Alien Rcsideiils lo Conseriplion?Important
Decision of
Judge Mngriuli.
?In the Confederate Court, yesterday, Judge
Magrath delivered his opinion in the cases argued
before him last week to test the liability
of alien residents lo couscription.
In these cnsi>s the parties had tiled their petition,
praying for a Writ of Habeas Corpus,
in order thaf they might be discharged from
the military service of the Confederate States.
It appeared that they had been members of
tho.Geiman Artillery Company, and participated
in the battle of Port Roval. They alleged

they did not enlist for twelve months they
would be drafted, and acting upon that information,
they had enlisted for that period. 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
