§ SIR DONALD CURRIEasked the First Lord of the Treasury, Whether, in view of the deplorable condition of affairs in Zululand, for which Great Britain is largely responsible, Her Majesty's Ministers will take immediate steps to prevent continued disorder and bloodshed, and to secure good Government in that Country?
MR. GLADSTONEThe hon. Gentleman is, no doubt, aware that Her Majesty's Government has made itself responsible for peace and order in that portion of Zululand which is called the Reserve. With respect to the portion beyond and not included in the Reserve, Her Majesty's Government have not come to any decision to meddle, by military interference, with the affairs of that portion of the country. They will make it their duty to fulfil the engagements they have undertaken to those who have presumably acted upon the faith of those engagements, and will do all that is requisite for the security of the Reserve.
