Judge Ware, in a case that came before him in Portland for the discharge of a young man from the army on account of his age, laid it down as a rule that if a man enlisted under the age of 18, but continued in the army and received pay for his services after he became 18, it will be held as a confirmation of his contract, and his discharge will not be granted on the ground that be enlisted before he was of sufficient age.
