§ MR. JOHN ELLIS (Nottinghamshire Rushcliffe)I beg to ask the Secretary o" State for the Colonies what is the amount of hut tax which has been levied upon the natives in the Transvaal under the law passed last year; in what districts has it been levied; and has the levy led to any opposition or breaches of the peace; and in that case, what are the particulars of the same as regard place, time, and magnitude.
§ MR. LYTTELTONInformation on the subject is published in No. 13, see particularly p. 113, in Cd. 2025. The only later information which I have is that the collection of the tax has been giving satisfactory results, and I have no reason to suppose that the levy has led to opposition or breaches of the peace.
