HC Deb 27 April 1882 vol 268 c1572
MR. R. N. FOWLER

asked, Whether the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies could give the House any information as to the statement in The Daily News as to the serious condition of affairs in Zululand?

MR. COURTNEY

Sir, I have seen the statement in The Daily News, dated the 25th, and to-day I have received a telegram from Sir Henry Bulwer, dated the 26th—one day later—in which he merely refers incidentally to a demonstration at Natal by the ex-King's brother. Evidently he does not attribute to it the importance which one would attach to The Daily News telegram.
