Refers to

Case of "Maria Luz"-

Desp: from Home Charge d'affaires at Japan

(Minutes.)

CONFIDENTIAL

548

The Japanese authorities appear to have acted with judgment & propriety in the matter of the "Maria Luz" - considering the novelty & peculiarity of the case. They followed generally the opinion given by M. Hannon acting judge of the "Consular Court", as to the extent of their jurisdiction and the course to be pursued. The result was that the Master of the ship was reprimanded - the Emigrants were allowed to come on shore - and the validity of the Contracts by which they had bound themselves to proceed to Peru was left to be decided by future proceedings should the question be raised.

Mr. Watson of G. Sept. & the memo annexed give a detailed account of the case.
