MR. CULLIMORE. 
like to that which characterises the communication signed 
Robert Dun. Indeed, most of the remarks I have been 
honoured with by persons connected with the institution to 
which each reply refers, have been so peculiar for an internal

When I w r as removed from the 5th Light Cavalry, I was

When I was removed from the 2d Regiment of Cavalry, 
I was not given a court before whom I could have defended
