§ MR. GREENWOOD (Peterborough)I beg to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he is aware that the Zulu, Cakijana, for whose apprehension £100 reward was offered, and who is alleged to be the most important of the witnesses wanted against Dinizulu, surrendered voluntarily to the Commissioner of Police of Natal upon the advice of Miss Colenso; whether he protested his own innocence and that of Dinizulu, and begged the protection of the Governor against the application of martial law in his case; whether, notwithstanding this, he was sent back to Nkandhla, where martial law is in force; whether he has been, or is to be, tried under martial law; and whether any, and, if so, what punishment has been inflicted upon him?
§ THE UNDER - SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES (Mr. CHURCHILL,) Manchester, N.W.I have no official information on the subject of the Question, but I would remind the hon. Member that the Natal Government has repudiated the suggestion that they had, at any time, the intention of trying Dinizulu himself by court-martial, and I cannot think that they would contemplate such a proceeding in the case of Cakijana.
