Ex Parte Dunbar

Opinion of the Court

By the Court.

This is an application of an entirely new impression. The inconveniences, which may be foreseen from sustaining motions of this kind, furnish, besides the total want of precedent, a strong argument against it. Parties who have legal ground to complain of the doings of these military courts have their remedy by action at law ; and to that remedy they must be left.

Motion overruled.
