§ LORD BRABOURNEasked the noble Earl the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Whether he has any information respecting Cetewayo; whether there is any truth in the report that he has been killed; and, generally, whether there is any further news respecting the condition of affairs of Zululand?
§ THE EARL OF DERBYMy Lords, about an hour before the meeting of this House, I received a telegram on the subject from Sir Henry Bulwer. Sir Henry telegraphs that he has received a letter from Mr. Osborn, our Commissioner, on the Native Reserve in Zululand, in which Mr. Osborn states that, in his opinion, it is certain that Cetewayo has been killed during the attack on Ulundi; but no details were, as yet, forthcoming, and Mr. Osborn himself had not received any definite information on the subject.
