MR. BATMANN (Camberwell, Peckham)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether it is true that a filibustering expedition of Boers has crossed the Limpopo River into 574 Matabili country; if so, whether the Government intend to take any steps to protect Lobengula's kingdom; and, whether he will lay upon the Table as soon as possible a Copy of Sir Francis de Winton's Report on Swaziland?
§ BARON H. DE WORMSRecent telegrams received by Her Majesty's Government from South Africa show that no such expedition has taken place. I have already stated in reply to my hon. Friend the Member for the City of London that Sir Francis de Winton's Report will be laid on the Table with other Papers in due course.
