The announcement follows a strong protest by the Consul Gen- eral for the Netherlands, to Mr. Wunsz King, against the search of the 8.8.

The evidence of a Revenue Officer showed that he had been instructed by Mr. B.C.K. Hawkins, of the Imports and Exports Department, to visit the warehouse of Mesere, Gande, Price and Co. to discover if ships stores had been made up and sent out. He was informed that the shipment had been sent. No permit had been ibuted.
