§ MR. WALTER M'LARENasked the Under Secretary of state for the Colonies whether it was true, as reported in the Times, that the Special Court at Etshowe had adjourned sine die; and, if so, had Zibebu been tried for the murder of Umsutshwana, as promised by the Colonial Office; and, what had been the result of the trial?
§ BARON H. DE WORMSThe Secretary of State has no official information as to the adjournment of the Court sine die. The Governor reports that the Commission has terminated. Preliminary magisterial proceedings against the persons charged with the murder of Umsutshwana were still in progress on the 28th ultimo, when Usibebu was still in custody. If the prisoners are committed for trial, they will, in due course, be brought before the proper tribunal.
