Stockhausen were put in charge of this Imperial Majesty's German Consulate in Hongkong.
January 22th 1886, the Solicitor for the Plaintiffs took out a Judge's Summons to shew cause, in each suit calling upon Mollwerff why the opium or its proceeds should not be handed or paid over to the Plaintiffs in satisfaction of judgments, and on due 18th the Solicitors for the Plaintiffs took out another Judge's Summons, in each suit calling upon This Imperial Majesty's Consul or representative in Hongkong to shew cause why the proceeds of the sale of the opium should not be handed over to the Plaintiffs in part payment of judgment debt and costs.
No order has been made on any of these Summons; therefore, so far as this Court is concerned the proceedings may, at present, be considered terminated with the Prohibitory Orders before mentioned. I may add that up to the present time nothing has been deposited or paid into Court under the Prohibitory Orders.
