HC Deb 05 June 1894 vol 25 c422
MR. J. E. ELLIS

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is now in a position to give the House particulars of the trial of the two troopers at Buluwayo, charged with stealing a present and intercepting a message from the late King Lobengula, and of its results?

MR. S. BUXTON

The two troopers in question were sentenced to 14 years' imprisonment, with hard labour. The particulars of the trial have appealed in the newspapers.

MR. J. E. ELLIS

Is the Colonial Office in possession of the official Report of the trial?

MR. S. BUXTON

We have received a Report by telegraph from the Acting Governor, General Cameron, in reference to the matter.
