Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XVI Who bravely dares, must sometimes risk a fall. Smollbtt. Scares and conflicts caused by Jan Letelle: Basuto expansion to the East: Pretorius succeeds Boshoff as President of Orange Free State and holds Conferences with Basuto: Sir George Grey mysteriously and abruptly recalled in the midst of important work: is immediately reinstated and finally retires: a retrospect: some of Moshesh's sound laws 1858--1862 ALTHOUGH the signature of Moshesh appears on the Treaty of Peace recorded in the preceding chapter it was not obtained without grave difficulty. The document was sent to him by the hand of Makwai but was mysteriously returned to Sir George Grey unsigned. Mr. Burnet was then sent by the Governor on October 12, 1858, to Thaba Bosigo in order to obtain the signature and afford any explanations. He found the Chief in a most refractory mood refusing absolutely to affix his seal. The chief obstacle was that part of Article I. where the boundary was said to follow the Warden line. It was unfortunate that the expression was used because as a matter of fact the Warden line was only confirmed in so far as related to the northern portion; thereafter the boundary followed the Caledon River vid Jammerberg to Beersheba. But the expression deceived many others besides Moshesh who could not clear his head of the idea that it meant the whole Warden line. He was also reluctant to agree to the stipulations about thieving and hunting for game, alleging that to sign a paper pledging himself to stop thieving, which must always go on, or to stop hunting game which God had sent to his people for food, was like signing a Great Lie. He also fenced bitterly about the inclusion in Free State territory of the Beersheba Mission farm which had been his original gift to t...

Excerpt: ... Missionaries Remonstrate 43 They were sometimes betrayed by the unknown presence in hiding at the mission stations of belligerents which brought upon them destruction and spoliation. But they often suffered upon mere supposition and were embittered in consequence. Yet withal, they set a firm example of loyalty and respect for any government having the right to command it and faithfully counselled for good those to whom they were dedicated. It was natural that their summary expulsion should draw indignant remonstrance. The first to appeal to the High Commissioner was the Rev. Hamilton Dyke, a Scotch divine allied to the Paris Society. Writing as a British-born subject from Aliwal North, where he was banished in February 1866, he warmly resented the dishonour thrust upon him after twentysix years' labour in Basutoland, and the injustice inflicted upon him through injury to character and property. Messrs. Rolland, Mabille, Coillard and Maitin poured forth in piercing tones their grief and sufferings under eviction. The Consul for France in Cape Town, the Ambassador in London, the Secretary of State and various philanthropical societies in England were all moved to champion their cause. All agreed that it was an outrage to condemn a body of highminded men without even the opportunity to exculpate themselves; but none could remove the decree. Some months later under pressure of public opinion the Free State, upon the recommendation of a Commission, agreed to let the missionaries return under the condition that they should pay for each station (their own buildings) the sum of £100, and then be Vol. 11 5 entitled to an area of 1,500 morgen of ground adjoining, provided that such buildings and land should be regarded as their personal property, to be sold if...
