sir,
I have the honour to transmit for
your consideration the enclosed copy of a correspondence
which has passed between this Goverment and the Imperial
German Consulate with regard to the case of the criminal
lunatic, Karl Ahrens, and to request that this matter may
be made the subject of a special representation to the
German Goverment through His Britannic Majesty's Ambas-
sador at Berlin.

On the 28th. October, 1897, Ahrens,
who was then in the employ of the German firm of Black-
head and Company was convicted of larceny and sentenced
to 42 days' hard labour. Soon after his discharge, he
was on the 27th. December again committed to Gaol for
vagrancy. On the 17th. March, 1898, Ahrens was once more
in 0801 and was certified by the Gaol Medical Officer to
be of wesk intellect. Again on the 5th, April, he was
imprisoned and was under treatment in the Hospital.
Finally on the 9th. April, 1898, Ahrens was admitted to
the Lunatic Asylm from the Gaol, and has been in the
Asylım ever since.
