HC Deb 21 July 1908 vol 192 c1707
MR. MACKARNESS (Berkshire, Newbury)

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is now in a position to make a statement with regard to the composition of the special Tribunal by which it is proposed to try Dinizulu, and to say what law and what rules of evidence will be applied in the conduct of the trial.

THE UNDER-SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Colonel SEELY,) Liverpool, Abercromby

I am not yet in a position to make a statement, but hope to be in a position to do so shortly.

SIR GILBERT PARKER (Gravesend)

Is there to be a special tribunal to try Dinizulu?

COLONEL SEELY

Yes, I have already announced there is to be a special Court, but I am not yet in a position to state how it will be constituted.
