Lord ILiner (late High Commissioner for South Africa) declared that unless they were safeguarded before
letters patent for the Transvaal Constitution were issued it would be too iate to intervene in Organgia; because the l'ransvaal precedent would prevail. The ilarquis of fiipon promised to carefully consider the appeal.
