I should be favored with a hearing before 'a suitable;. court without any' more direct appli- . cation on my part ; but having received no information to that effect.' I consider it neea- i sary to stata explicitly, and request that W soon as I am relieved from the tour of duty I am now about commencing:, I mav be indulg- edwith'a hearing before such a court as may -be deemed proper.
