600 kilos, as agjLnst 689 kilos, when they were sent*
Mr. Louis de Brus in his forwarding note acknowledged
the difference in weight.
Messrs. Ch. Zuaz were informed of this, and they,
no doubt, acquainted Mr. Dieu, as Principal, of the
existence of such a difference,
Mr. Dieu then instructed Messrs. Ch. Zuaz (Brussels)
to inform the forwarding agents at Antwerp - Messrs.
Reynardts & Co, that shipments were to go forward for
Koweit.
The first shipment of 25 /per s.s. n C.Fred.Lacisz n
oil, behalf of Messrs. Bertie Richmond Co. Ld. and
the second shipment of 25 /per s.s. n Moltkefels n
on beftalf of Me ssrs. Lewis Cramp ton $ Co.
Messrs. Reynardts being informed of this, tendered
the goods to the tt Hansa n Line for shipment, and the
goods went forward in the usual course - the "Hansa"
Line representatives at port of shipment (Antvierp)
filling in the names in the shipping Documents, as
customary.
This is briefly the history of the transaction
up to the time of shipment, and I have put the facts
before you to show what an extremely complicated
affair it has been, and how Mr. Dieu has endeavoured
to cover his tracks by working through various sources.
The facts connected with the detection and confis
cation of the Rifles you are already acquainted..
I will, therefore, merely deal briefly with the
legal measures taken against the shippers.
The discovery of the Rifles in the shipment per
the n Hansa” line "Moltkefels n was made on or about
the 7th August last year. A wire was at once sent to
Bremen
