and the conduct of the German officers was ungentlemanly. One might expect that if bail is given to men who are deliberately prevented from coming forward in this manner, the result will be that in the future bail will not be allowed in these cases.

Government House, Hongkong, 10th April, 1902.
I have the honour to transmit for your information copies of three reports together with certain correspondence which has taken place between this Government and the Imperial German Consul relative to an assault committed on a Police Constable by four seamen of the Imperial German Navy.
2. In view of the fact that the assault was aggravated by the use of a fighting iron and that the two Officers of the Imperial German Navy who stood bail permitted the bail to be estreated without any comment or explanation, I am unable to regard the replies of the Imperial German Consul as satisfactory.
I therefore forward all the papers connected with the case to you, that you may decide what further action, if any, should be taken.
I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Humble servant,
M.J. Gascoigne Major-General, Administering the Government.
