measure to a certain extent in court as there was a variance in the evidence given compared with the evidence given to Mr Deane (Acting Superintendent of Police) a very suspicious character when the facilities for tampering with Chinese witnesses are borne in mind.

I enclose Mr Deane's explanation of his proceedings in the matter, and whether Mr Lobscheid was or was not privy to the use made of his name by his agents in purchasing and imprisoning them, it is quite clear that he was guilty of such an amount of negligence as to the use made of his name by his Agents as rendered him almost criminally culpable.

9. I think him a person so extremely unfitted to be trusted with the supervision of any Emigration that I hope Your Grace may bring my opinion to the notice of the Netherlands Minister, as I have no reliance on Mr Lobscheid's veracity or honest discharge of the duties which he undertakes.

8. Mr Lobscheid's mode of transacting business had already attracted the attention of Her Majesty's Emigration Commissioners in despatch of Mr Bardwell No 26th 1866, when the case of the "Tricolor" was before them, and in Mr Murdoch's letter of the 19th April last year, Paragraph 12, Your Grace will find some comments illustrating Mr Lobscheid's total neglect of that actual supervision over the Emigrants sent by that vessel.
