'That evening [12 June 1878] the Schreibers read an announcement in the Times that Sir Charles Du Cane, whom they had expected to present himself as a candidate for Colchester, had been given a Customs appointment under the Government, and would accordingly be obliged to give up any parliamentary candidature. Charles Schreiber had his eye on this constituency and now telegraphed to his brother Brymer, who was quartered at Colchester, to move in the matter on his behalf.'
