HC Deb 14 February 1865 vol 177 c237
MR. ARTHUR MILLS

asked the Secretary for the Colonies, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to introduce, during the present Session, any measure for the annexation of British Kaffraria to the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope?

MR. CARDWELL

said, he had already laid on the table papers showing what was the state of things which prevailed in the Cape Colony. He would, without delay, give notice of his intention to bring in a Bill on the subject of the hon. Gentleman's Question.

MR. ARTHUR MILLS

asked, whether the right hon. Gentleman was aware that a petition against any such measure had been drawn up by the inhabitants of British Kaffraria.

MR. CARDWELL

said, he was.
