The mere facts of payment by a State of officer's pay and allowances to a man while engaged in recruiting or organizing troops, and the reimbursement of the State by the United States under the act of July 27, 1861, are not sufficient to show that he had the status of an officer, or to enable him to count the time he was so paid in making up the nine months' service required by law to entitle him to veteran bounty under joint resolution of January 13, 1864, on a subsequent enlistment. If he was not enlisted or commissioned he had no military status while so serving. 441. See MARINE CORPS, No. 9; Pro Rata PaymENT, Nos. 1, 2; SUGAR BOUNTY.
