Alexander Devine in "The Martyred Nation", 1924 wrote: "The fact is the Report contains such a damning indictment of Serbian rule that its publication would immediately provoke interference; and that interference did not suit our policy towards the French Government". In the House of Commons, Ronald McNeill repeatedly asked about production of the Report and De Salis's possible arrest. But as Devine put it: "When the day came that Mr. McNeill found himself Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs in the late Conservative Ministry, the Report was on his desk in the Foreign Office and Mr. McNeill could no more disclose its contents than his predecessors could". Meanwhile, Lord Sydenham in the House of Lords, "Hansard", 29 November 1920 said: In a letter, dated New York, 1 May 1922, published in "The New York Times", 7 May 1922, Ronald Tree described the Count as: '..perhaps the greatest English authority on the Balkans'. In April 1920, months after the possible event, an alleged arrest and imprisonment by the Serbians, the "New York Times" reported:  The sensitivity of the issue is shown by the fact that only one of his four obituaries in "The Times" (1939) (19 January 1939, page 17, column D) mentions his Montenegran Report, although not the arrest. In 1883 the Count was listed in Bateman's "Great Landowners", based on the Return of Owners of Land, 1873, Irish section, Dublin, 1876, as being of Tandragee and London and owning worth £5,392 per annum in County Armagh and worth £3,349 per annum in County Limerick. These Irish estates derived from Henry Bourchier, 5th Earl of Bath (1587–1654), an ancestral uncle by marriage. The 1883 and 1887 "Burke's Peerage" and "Walford's" list him as living at Grange Hill, Limerick; 7, Athlestone Terrace; and Hillingdon Place, Middlesex. He was accordingly a JP for Limerick and Armagh; and Deputy Lieutenant (DL) for Limerick. Debrett's Peerage in 1925 had his "seats" as: Loughgur, co. Limerick; and Bondo, Bregalia, Grisons. His livery was: green coat with a yellow waistcoat. In addition to his CVO, CMG (both 25 June 1909), and KCMG (3 June 1913), he held the 2nd Class Prussian Order of the Red Eagle, and the King George V Coronation Medal.
