SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1902.
Two murder trials were disposed
of in the High Court last week.
In the first'case the jury returned
a verdict of guilty with a rider, on
the grounds thatjthe accused acted
under a Boer General's instructions.
No such rider was attached to the
finding in the second case. From
our point of view, the accused in
the second case were stronglv
entitled to a recommendation for
mercy ; for, unlike the accused in
the first case (who merelv net
under a general order alleged to
have been in existence) thev acted
under a specific order of general

Court, exonerated liaritz and

He had the good fortune of
having been educated at a missionary
institution, and knew the doctrines
instilled upon the natives. They
had been told in these institutions,
and by other organisations such as
that referred to by his colleague,
that they were equal, if not superior,
to the white man. That was
a doctrine which they could not
allow in this country. (Mr. P. R.
Frames in the Rhodesian Legislative
Council.)

correctly reported, and, that being the

then we thank God we were never within
100 milea of the place. We are
certainly going to institute enquiries,
and trace up these charges to the very
bottom ; and if we find that thev are

our reader* to think twice before sending

The question of Dutch or English
supremacy no longer depended upon
the differences between those two
nations: and the momentous issue
now before the sub-continent was
whether the people of South . Africa

of their own affairs in connection
with the native. (Hear, hear.) It
had been said that those born in the

treated the natives brutally—that
