A Linn county habeas corpus case centers on George Burbank born July 22 1886 who was sixteen on July 22 1905. Courts ruled there is no grace year as sixteen on the seventeenth birthday makes him legally an adult. County attorney and judges noted birthday equals anniversary not age, and the writ was denied.
