HC Deb 12 March 1885 vol 295 c890
MR. DIXON-HARTLAND

asked the Secretary of State for War, If the Artillery stationed at Natal has been telegraphed for by Sir Charles Warren to proceed at once to Bechuanaland; and, if this is so, whether they will be landed at Port Alfred and sent by rail to Hope Town, as being a cheaper and shorter route, by over 400 miles, than going round by Cape Town?

THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTON

I am not aware of any such request on the part of Sir Charles Warren.
