HC Deb 28 June 1883 vol 280 cc1698-9
MR. GORST

asked the Under Secretary of state for the Colonies, Whether any information has been furnished by the Resident in the Transvaal to Her Majesty's Government as to the terms on which the Transvaal Government will allow Mapoch to surrender; and, whether there is ground to believe that Ma- poch will receive worse terms in consideration of the services rendered by him to the British in the late war?

MR. EVELYN ASHLEY

, in reply, said, the Resident in the Transvaal had not furnished the Government with any information as to the terms on which the Transvaal Government would allow Mapoch to surrender. There was no ground to believe that he would receive worse terms in consideration of the services rendered by him to the British in the late war. As a matter of fact, he did not render any services.
