British colored citizens were maltreated, and in the law British subjects received unfair treatment. These two facts gave England the right to interfere. Even setting aside the special justification of England's claim, there still remains the broader, the firmer, the higher ground of the supreme law of mankind, the inalienable right of any international state to protect its citizens from injustice in a foreign land...
