§ SIR HENRY HOLLANDsaid, he should like to ask, with a view of relieving anxiety, Whether the noble Marquess (the Marquess of Hartington) could give any information as to the rumoured important movement of troops in Natal—whether they had been moved across the border with the view of security, or what was being done with them?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONThe instructions given are that the troops should be removed to the border of the Reserve. They have been distinctly ordered not to enter the Reserve or Zululand, but to await further instructions.
