action of Hassan. It may be mentioned that so
far from Sheikh Sngar having " put in his pocket P*
the whole valuable object in connection with
which the company was founded, the result ol
his action has been that no revenue has been
received from the mines from that day to this.
The question whether Wonckhaus and Co. can
be considered as interested in the company is
considered below.
It is no doubt unfortunate that the company
has been unable to resume its operations since the
cancellation, but, as has been pointed out above,
that is not the fault of the sheikh, but is due to
the course which affairs have taken.

SdkoT^s proceedings, then, are clearly a violation P*
of law—an exercise of arbitrary power.
The German Government do not suggest what
law it is that was violated by Sagar s proceedings.
His Majesty's Government have already pointed
out that the sheikh's right to cancel the concession
is one that cannot be questioned, and that it is a
mistake to consider his action as an adjudication of
the rights of the parties as between themselves.
His Majesty's Government must :dso repeat,
that even if Sagar's proceedings were " a violation
of law," the question would be, under the circum
stances, one which could only concern the sheikh
and His Majesty's Government.

His Majesty's Government regret that they are p. 29.
entirely unable to recognise Messrs. Wonckhaus
and Co. as in any way concerned in the present
question. It is clear that Messrs. Wonckhaus
had a good cause of action for breach of contract
against Hassan; or, if the contention of the
German Government were correct, that the con
tract was binding on the partnership, they would
have a cause of action against the paitnership.
They have never attempted to avail themselves
of either ot these remedies. It is obvious, there
fore, that Messrs. Wonckhaus can have no claim
against Sheikh Sagar in their capacity as parties
to the contract, whether it was made with Hassan
or with the mining company.
