This having been denied to me and the persons accused having been taken over from Consular jurisdiction to the jurisdiction of the Colonial Government, under which, it is argued, they have found asylum, nothing remains in my power to do, in the premises, but to respectfully, yet solemnly, protest against this exercise of Colonial jurisdiction, and this procedure which renders the trial and punishment of the offenders impossible; and to lay the matter before my Government for such consideration as the same may seem to demand.
