From the Secretary of State, London, to the Governor, Hongkong

dated 28th August, 1904.

Matter most urgent. Your telegram of 7th August: Did Harbour Master refuse in first instance to issue summons acting under instructions of Officer Administering the Government?

Was summons subsequently issued and was case ever judicially considered by Magistrate's Court? Who advised that crew could not be convicted for refusal of duty on ground that vessel was carrying contraband of war?
