Cody v. Rhodes

Supreme Court of Georgia
Cody v. Rhodes, 34 Ga. 66 (Ga. 1864)
Lumpkin

Cody v. Rhodes

Opinion of the Court

Lumpkin, O. J.

The only question in this ease is, whether the certificate of a single physician is sufficient to exempt from liability to military service. The act of vacating all previous exemptions required rules to he prescribed by the Secretary of War. lie required a medical Board to act in ease of alleged physical disability. It was competent for the Secretary of War to make the rule, and therefore the certificate of a single physh cian will not answer.

Judgment Affirmed.
