London, July 20,
■Scubell on Sunday captured 10 Boers,
Two rebels at Kenhardt and two at Middleburg were executed, and 13 at Dordecht were sentenced to penal servitude for life, and two to five and 10 years respectively. Private Walter Miller and William Eutherford (7th New Zealand Contingent) wore slightly wounded at Lindigue.
In the Commons Hon Mr Brodrick stated that there was only one instance of burghers being compelled to attend an execution. The circumstances was exceptional, and was doubtless intended to have a deterrent effect.
