Note 48 — Chapter VII · THE MATSHANA INQUIRY AND COLONEL COLLEY.
Reading edition
Sir B. Pine complains in his despatch, December 31st, 1874, of the “intolerable injustice” of charges being made against Mr. J. Shepstone, upon evidence taken by the Bishop ex parte, without the safety of publicity and the opportunity of cross-examination. Yet Sir Garnet Wolseley refused to allow publicity or searching cross-examination by experienced advocates.
