§ MR. THOMAS ELLISI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Chief Magistrate, to whom the question of Usibepu's discharge from the preliminary examination by the Resident Magistrate has, been referred to for further consideration, has power, under the law of Zulu-land, to decide whether Usibepu should be prosecuted or not; and, whether, after so deciding, he would also be the-Magistrate who would sit as judge and jury to try Usibepu in the event of a prosecution being instituted?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Baron H. DE WORMS,) Liverpool, East ToxtethThe question whether Usibepu should be-prosecuted by the Crown will be one for the Governor to decide; and if a prosecution is ordered he would also decide whether there is any ground for providing a special tribunal in lieu of that prescribed by the law of Zululand 529 —namely, the Chief Magistrate and two other Magistrates.
