§ DR. MACNAMARAI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he can furnish from the Cape Colony Census Returns the white population of the town of Kimberley for each of the last three years, including 1904, in which the census has been taken.
§ MR. LYTTELTONI have not yet received the full Census Returns giving the white population of the town of Kimberley in 1904. The numbers for Kimberley District are 20,478. The numbers for the same district in 1891 were 20,306. The numbers for Kimberley Municipality were then 12,658. The previous Cape census of 1875 did not include Griqualand West, which was annexed in 1880.
§ MR. LYTTELTONI think we ought to receive it very shortly.
