§ MR. COURTNEYasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether he can now lay upon the Table Mr. Sargeaunt's Report on the Financial Condition of the Transvaal Territory; and, whether it is his intention to apply this Session for a Supplementary Vote in aid of the expenses of its government?
§ SIR MICHAEL HICKS-BEACH,in reply, said, it was not his intention to apply this Session for a Supplementary Vote. With regard to Mr. Sargeaunt's Report, that gentleman had been actively engaged since his recent return from South Africa in preparing such Report, which had not yet been received at the Colonial Office. Until he saw that Report, he could not promise to lay it upon the Table of the House.
