I have laid before the Marquess of Salisbury

your letter, with its inclosures, of the 28th ul-

timo, calling attention to a case of assault alleged

to have been committed by the Mate of the American

Ship "R.R. Thomas" upon a seaman of the same ship

while she was lying in the harbour of Hong Kong.

I am to state to you in reply, and for the con-

sideration of Mr. Secretary Charberlain that the

present case appears to His Lordship to be governed

by the considerations set forth in the letter from

74495

Mauritiu's

this Department of the 29th of April 1895, and the

memorandum inclosed in it, relative to the case of

assault of a similar nature which was committed on

board & French Merchant Ship in the Port of St

Louis, Mauritius.

There is no evidence, in the papers forwarded

he Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.
