WHEREAS, It appears from the muster-in rolls, no
file in the office of the Adjutant General of Mary-
land, that John Quigly a private in Battery B.
first Maryland Light Artillery, having served a
full term, in said battery afterwards, to wit: on the
fourteenth of March, eighteen hundred and sixty-
four, re-enlisted but was then rejected by the sur-
geon, notwithstanding which he continued to serve
as a private in said battery; and subsequently to
wit: on the first day of April, eighteen hundred
and sixty four, again enlisted, and was mustered in
as a veteran, and served as such until the end of
the war when he was honorably discharged from
service, as appears from the muster-out rolls in the
office of the Adjutant General aforesaid; and where-
as; the case of the said John Quigly, in consequence
of his temporary rejection by the surgeon in March,
eighteen hundred and sixty-four, does not come
strictly within the provisions of the act of eighteen
hundred and sixty -four, chapter fifteen, but having
performed the full service of a veteran he is justly
and honorably entitled to the same bounty which
has been paid to his comrades; now therefore,
|
Preamble.

ty-four, chapter fifteen.
