§ MR. R. FOWLERsaid, he wished to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to withdraw the troops from Natal?
§ MR. MONSELLsaid, in reply, that there was no present intention on the part of the Government to withdraw the troops from Natal. He would take the present opportunity of asking the hon. Member to put off his Motion, which stood for that night, relative to the recent, disturbances at the Red River, as it was not desirable, in the interests of the public service, that there should be a discussion at present.
§ MR. R. FOWLERsaid, he was ready, under the circumstances stated, to postpone the Motion till the 20th of May.
