Claim of Charles Adrian Van Bokkelen vs. The Government of Haiti; Before the arbitrator: Crammond Kennedy & Marston Niles, Counsel, 35p, Wash., n.p.,
8 August 1888. (The entire text is in French. This case centered around the imprisonment for debt in Haitian prisons for about 16 months starting in
1884, of Van Bokkelen, an American citizen. Having exhausted his appeals within the Haitian judicial system, he applied for assistance to the U.S.
State Department under certain provisions of the U.S./Haiti Treaty of 1864. After lengthy negotiations, during which Van Bokkelen died, the U.S. was able
to convince the Haitian Government to accept arbitration. This title contains the lawyers’ briefs and arguments in the case. A separate title on this
site, Haiti, US, Van Bokkelen Case (B), Abitrator’s Award, 1888, covers the judgment of the arbitrator and his award of $60,000 to Van Bokkelen’s
widow and children. Another title on this site, Haiti, US, 1916?, Maxey, Legal Problems Between the U.S. and Haiti, provides a summary description of the
facts in the case on pp. 18-20.)
