§ MR. J. RAMSAY MACDONALD (Leicester)I beg to ask the Under-secretary of State for the Colonies whether His Majesty's Government has had any information from the Natal Government stating why Tilonke is being tried by court-martial, although he was not taken in the field; why his counsel has been refused an adequate time to prepare for his defence; why no representatives of the public are allowed to be present at the trial; and whether His Majesty's Government has made representations to the Natal Government pointing out that such trials are not in accordance with the promises made to this House.
§ MR. CHURCHILLI regret to say the Secretary of State has not received any information from the Natal Government on the subject.
