§ MR. RYLANDSasked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether the Government are in possession of the Proclamation recently issued by the Triumvirate of the Boers of the Transvaal; and if there is any objection to laying it upon the Table of the House?
MR. GRANT DUFFSir, in reply to my hon. Friend, I shall have much pleasure in laying on the Table a copy of a document received at the Colonial Office, purporting to be an authentic copy of the Boers Proclamation. I shall, at the same time, lay on the Table a copy of a subsequent Proclamation by them, which is also believed to be authentic.
