MR. LIDDELLasked whether the Government had received any official information from British Kaffraria which was likely to cause the apprehension of another Kafir war?
§ SIR GEORGE GREYsaid, that at the date of the last despatches from the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, no act of hostility had taken place. Considerable uneasiness and alarm existed on the eastern frontier on account of the supposed hostile intentions of the Kafirs and 191 the Fingoes, who had combined together with no friendly intention towards the settlers. In the last dispatch, dated the 30th December, the Governor said, the latest accounts he had received were of a more satisfactory and cheering character, and he was on the point of going to the frontier to hold communication with the chiefs of the Kafirs and Fingoes, from which he hoped beneficial results would follow.
