Opinion
The Court held, that if the relator was allowed, after taking the place of a drafted man, to enlist as a volunteer, and was accepted and mustered in as such, the State authorities could not, in the matter of bounty, distinguish him from any other volunteer. While bounties were offered they must be paid without discrimination to all who came within the terms of the offer.
Mandamus granted.
