§ COMMANDER BETHELL (York, E.R., Holderness)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether there is any intention of reconsidering the sentence of banishment and imprisonment passed on Dinizulu and others concerned in the troubles in Zululand?
§ MR. SCHWANN (Manchester, N. E.)Have the Government arrived at any decision with regard to contemplated changes in the administration of Zulu-land, and can he give the House any information as to the proposed arrangement?
§ THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. S. BUXTON,) Tower Hamlets, PoplarMy answer will cover both questions. The whole of the Zululand questions, including that of Dinizulu's position, have received most careful attention; but, for various reasons, it is not likely that an early decision will be taken. I may add, that one reason for delay is that Mr. Osborn, the British Commissioner in Zululand, is about to retire on pension, and it is desirable to have the opinion of his successor before taking action.
