Now, to us, it cerns clear that upon purely technical grounds, this indictment is viciou. It charges the defendant with an " assault and obstructing an officer in tended by its framers, for the purpose of depriving the citizen of his liberty 1 or shall he have the full benefit of its terms, and even the beneiit of a doubt; if doubt there be in the judicial mind 1 The com mon law unites with common sense, in yielding the doubt, if doubt there lie, in favor of the prisoner. I Jut let us for a moment (if that were possible) forget that this is a penal statute! Let us give it a liberal construction, ac cording to its terms. And where do we find the act of enrollment referred to, even by implication ? Certainly, no where in the whole section. The clause, "or in from its provisions, an opportunity of es- 1 called upon a portion of the people, ma capmg it. It every male in the district were enrolled, an exempt could only be relieved on his application at'the proper place, in pursuance of the 13th section of the act Hence it is the interest of those who conic within the provisions of any of the exemi'-JoiiS ;n the act, to be en rolled. All the officer has do is to enroll the names and ages. It is no difference how he procures them. And the very fact of siiiv citizen refusing to rive his name or age, wi king up his list from the former enroll ment. He swears, too, that he had the name and age of Joseph Will on that list, nnd from that he entered it on fiis list. But the very manner of his call ing upon the defendant, showed more of a desire to taunt, or show his own im portance, when he asks, 44 Joe Will, what is j our name ?" &c In short, if a citizen of the district had been appointed enrolling officer, or one whose desire was faithtuily to pciiorm ms f. $1 so ii; lines 2 50 :-jl:nM 1 00 ,!TrI fi 00 . 10 00 15 00 $3 00 4 50 7 00 9 00 12 00 22 00 $5 00 9 00 12 00 14 00 20 CO 8.' 00 IN T II E I (ourt of the fiiitecl n:rrn rjli-trlct of Ptnnijl. ...lia, at Pitt ltirR. making the enrollment ;" whereas, there is but surely no grammarian would so con no such ofil nee named in the act.

But this is not the only, nor, indeed, tbe main reason, for moving in arrest of judgment. From such examination as have been able to give the case, we are firm in the conviction that the so-called ''conscription act" provides no penalty for " obstructing the enrollment ;" nay, in..re, that it never contemplate! any pen al f. lint kc nri told Confess must have intended to punish this offence, and be cause Congress cither intended, or owjht to Ita'-f intended it, therefore, this penal statute should be (not strictly but lileral lv) construed to punish the offender. Such a doctrine can receive no Mvor at tne hands of this court and God forbid that it should. Whenever the day arrives that courts of justice shall construe doubtful looi-hition. so as to secure a victim nnd. :it the sp.mo time, enabhn? those who were palpably exempt, from the j trouble and inconvenience of appearing before tlie board of enrollment, on notice, to undergo an examination ; and hence ho penalty was required. Besides the enrollment did not neces sarily require that the subject of it should ever be draft ed. He might, some day, be subject to a draft, and he might not. Every thing dejended upon future contin gencies, that might not arise. In short every body was to be enrolled a speci fied number miyld be drafted. The en rollment left everv many where he was. mindinsr his own business ; the draft took the. citizen, his parents, his. wife, or his children. Hence, Congress might well consider the enrollment able to take care of itself ; while the draft should be re garded with sever penalties The practical working of the law vin dicates this intention in the enactment. In all the State not in rebellion, the en rollment has been already made and per- UNITED STATES J vs. V JOSEITI WILL. J Opinion of the Court by McCand- less. United States District Judge, only, for this register of the people is tooccr; every two years, and without limitation. Congress designed that the Government should at all times be ready, whether for a foreign war, or any new complication of domestic difficulties. Wise statesmen always anticipate- such emergencies and provide for them. They have done so here, in trying to reduce to precision the force or power upon which they could rely to restore the rightful authority of the Government. The first eleven sections of this act are wholly taken up with provisions relative to the enrollment, and there is no penalty in terposed for resisting the enrolling officer, or omitting to rcrpond to his enquiries if he should choose to make them. Thus far th Act treats the enrollment as a thing com plete in itself. A draft may or may not ba mnde. That is to happen when in the judgment of the President the public safety may require it. By the twelfth section, he is then authorized to assign " to each dis trict the number of men to be furnished by each district." and 44 thereupon" the enroll ing Board shall, under the direction of tha President, wiflt'.c a draft. This is the first exhibition of the warlike power. Then ; spring into activity the Provost Marshal, i other -fSerg and their subordinate, who j are to draw or 'call out the people, in fciven classes, who hive been previously en rolled. They are to answer the President' demand, or upon failure, they become, for the first time, subject to the Rules and Ar ticles of War, except where the Act directs that they shall be turned over to the Civil authorities for trial. As was well eaid.upon. the argument, the enrollment left every his own busi- whenever hastv or improvident legislation j footed ; and there has leen no serious shall be helped out by jud'u-ial construe- i diffieulty anywhere in carrying out the .i....
