§ SIR HENRY HOLLANDasked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether it is correct, as stated in the Table of Contents, C. 2950, p. vi. (South Africa), that Sir Evelyn Wood, in his Despatch of March 28th, 1881, expressed "anxiety as to the future peace of the Transvaal under the new Government;" and, if it is correct, whether he will add that passage to the Extract from the Despatch given at p. 119, of C. 2950?
§ SIR CHARLES W. DILKE, in reply, said, that the words in the Table of Contents were not correct, for the passages omitted did not refer to the prospects of the Transvaal under the new Government, but to a possibility, as matters stood in March last, of a breakdown of the peace negotiations. The paragraphs three and four were omitted by inadvertence, and he had no objection to produce them. There were three or four lines omitted that would still be omitted because they related to names.
