Nearly half the Diet is with us.

There has been some strange meddling in the customs.
Englishmen have brought me complaints, through the British legation, regarding such inspections as were never before heard of in a country at peace.

I consulted the chief inspector and he affirmed the matter.
He was under orders of the minister of police.

It appears to me that a certain Englishman is to be kept out of the country for reasons well known to us.

I have suspended police power over the customs.
