"Three bills in equity were filed in the Supreme Court for the Eastern District by three individuals against the officers of the Enrolling Board of the Third Congressional District, praying for injunctions to restrain the defendants from further proceeding with or under such enrolment, requisition, and draft, under the Act of 3d March, 1863, and particularly from all proceedings against the said plaintiffs. The ground alleged for these applications was the unconstitutionality of this act of Congress."--P. [3]
