Having therefore fully investigated the same, do report as follows, to wit: that by laws of 1862 Chap. 477@ 146, the officers, musicians and privates, in the uniformed militia were exempt from Jury duty, and the payment of highway tax not exceeding six days in one year, and every person not assessed for highway taxes, shall be entitled to a deduction in the assessment of his real and personal property not exceeding $500.
By the laws of 1865, Chap. 612 @ 146, the above section of the laws of 1862, is so amended as to limit the exemptions to jury duty alone, and it so remains at this time.
It is claimed on the part of the soldier that as to those that enlisted under the Stature of 1862, it amounted to a contract between the State and the soldier, that he should have such exemptions, and that no subsequent legislation could take them from them.
There is a good deal of plausibility in this reasoning, and the Adjutant General of the State wrote an opinion dictating that to be the law, and I had hoped that his opinion was the law, because I deem the fullest amount of exemptions which has ever been awarded them a very inadequate compensation for the labor and expense they are put to in the performance of their duties.
But this very question came up before one of the Supreme Court Judges in the western part of this State, who held that soldiers were like public officers serving the public for the benefit of the public, at a compensation, for unperformed services ,l entirely under the control of the Legislature, to be reduced oral together taken away or increased at the pleasure of the Legislature, for unperformed services.
I think this vew is fully sustained by the decision of the Court of Appeals (1 Selden. 285) as to the public officers, which is decisive of this question.
I am therefore forced to the conclusion that the enlisted soldier now in the militia service has no exemptions except jury duty.

" David Salton, the Supervisor of the Town of Hamden, objects to and protests against the completion of the roll of that Town and the opening warrants for the collection thereof with the amount of $113.60 in favor of the Town of Colchester in it, on the ground said account is illegal. No such claim (?) against the town of Hamden. That it is not property verified. That this Board has no jurisdiction over it & no power or authority to adjust or allow it. It not having been allowed by the Board of Superintendents of the County of Delaware or by the Board of Auditors of the Town of Hamden. That the amount should be stricken from said roll."
