[COFTEIGHT.] Cetshwayo ka Mpande. ‘‘Cetshwayo desired us to urge upon the Governor of Natal to interfere to save the destruction of perhaps both countries, Zululand and.the Transvaal. He requests us to state that he cannot and will not submit to be turned out of his own homes. It may be that he will be vanquished ; but as he is not the aggressor death will not be w hard to meet. ’-Official Zulu mes*sage in 1875, the 13th since 1861, about the Lhsputed Territory and Boer aggressions (Pari, Papers, C. 1748, p. 14). “No! we do not understand it. For there has never been known one like him among us Zulus before, so good, so kind, so merciful. He never killed except for grave offences; the whole country swarms with people who owe their lives to him, ^d who fled to him as the merciful Prince who did not kill.”—Statement of Zulu ivhiefs at Bishopstowe, May 1880,
