HC Deb 13 July 1882 vol 272 c273
SIR MICHAEL HICKS - BEACH

asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether any communications, besides those which have been already published, have been received from Sir H. Bulwer, giving the names of "the persons in the Colony of Natal who desire to see Cetewayo restored," to whose interference he attributes the agitation which has caused the disturbances in Zululand, and stating the nature of such interference, and the means (if any) adopted to check action which if continued may seriously affect the peace of Natal; and, if so, whether such communications will be presented to Parliament?

MR. EVELYN ASHLEY

The despatches describing the interference referred to have been received from Sir Henry Bulwer, and they will be presented to Parliament. Sir Henry Bulwer, however, does not mention or suggest the adoption of any means for checking the action complained of.
