§ MR. BUCHANAN (Aberdeenshire, E.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies, since what date, in 64 the districts of Cape Colony where martial law was proclaimed, have the military courts ceased to take cognisance of offences, other than those committed by soldiers, against the Criminal Law of the Colony.
§ MR. J. CHAMBERLAINI understand that since the middle of April no fresh trials for treasonable offences by the military courts have taken place—only preliminary investigations. This is all the information I have.
