§ MR. R. N. FOWLERasked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether it is true, as reported in the newspapers, that he has received a communication from the Executive Government of Natal, to the effect that Langalibalele is to be restored to his government?
§ MR. EVELYN ASHLEYThat is not the statement in the newspapers.
§ MR. R. N. FOWLERNor that it is the intention of Her Majesty's Government to restore him?
§ MR. EVELYN ASHLEYThe statement is perfectly correct in the newspapers, that Sir Henry Bulwer has sent home the conditions under which alone he considers Langalibalele can be safely restored. These conditions have been submitted to the Legislative Council by the direction of the Home Government. But what the decision of the Legislative Council may be is still, as the newspaper reports say, uncertain.
