§ MR. PATRICK O'BRIEN (Kilkenny)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he has yet received the dispatch recently referred to by 565 President Kruger as having been sent from the Transvaal Government on the subject of the British suzerainty; and whether he intends to communicate its contents to the House?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIESI have not yet received the dispatch, and am unlikely to do so for some weeks. It would be premature to answer the second Question, now.
