HC Deb 27 July 1908 vol 193 c873
MR. MACKARNESS

I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he can now state who will be the members of the special court appointed to try Dinizulu; and by what law and rules of evidence the court will be bound at the trial.

COLONEL SEELY

No, Sir, I regret that I am not yet in a position to say who the members of the Court will be, but full information with regard to the composition of the Court will be found in the Papers which are now being distributed. I have telegraphed to the Natal Government to send the names in view of to-morrow's debate.

MR. MACKARNESS

Will the ordinary law of Natal obtain at the trial?

COLONEL SEELY

The answer to that will be found in the text of the Special Court Bill.
