Wilber v. Grace , 1 Lock. Rev. Cas. 238 ( 1799 )

The Court of Errors held, that such a contract was valid; and that if such substitute deserts the service of the United-States, he may be lawfully arrested as a deserter ; and that the officer commanding the arrest, or the person apprehending him, is not liable to an action. The judgment of the Supreme Court was accordingly reversed.
