  3. (3.) £300,000, Supplementary, War in South Africa, Vote of Credit (Sikukuni Expedition, &c.)

MR. COURTNEY

asked how the Vote was distributed between the expedition against Secocoeni and the expense incurred in the occupation of the Transvaal? It was very desirable the House should know something in regard to the occupation of the Transvaal altogether independent from the expenditure for the expedition against Secocoeni. One might be of a permanent character, while the other was not.

SIR HENRY SELWIN-IBBETSON

said, the sum required for the expedition against Secocoeni was £220,000, and the sum included in the Vote for the occupation of the Transvaal was £100,000.

Vote agreed to.
