Стр. 52 - Caffres that the offence must instantly be followed by the punishment; whereas, by waiting the decision of the Commander-in-Chief, 600 miles distant, in every emergency, offences are allowed to accumulate to an alarming amount; and the slender means of defence the settlement possesses, deprived of the power of acting with promptitude, is forced to present to the Caffres at once the appearance of enmity and weakness.
Стр. 20 - Majesty's settlement of the Cape of Good Hope, warmly appreciating the highminded principles of justice, integrity, and active benevolence, that have conspicuously marked, in their humble judgment, your truly meritorious administration of the government of this colony, during the period his Majesty was pleased to repose the trust in your hands, as late Acting Governor, now respectfully beg leave to wait on you with this sincere homage of their grateful esteem, previously to your approaching departure...

And they cannot omit the expression of their particular gratitude to the acting Governor, Sir Rufane Donkin, who devoted to their prosperity a great share of his personal attention ; to whom they owed the establishment of a town in the...
Стр. 47 - ... share of his personal attention; to whom they owed the establishment of a town in the centre of the new settlement, as the seat of its magistracy; and a system of military defence, during which they were free from Caffre depredations ; by making arrangements for a friendly intercourse with the Caffres, and by his solicitous attentions to the interests and wishes of the settlers, he inspired them with a degree of energy and hope, of which they are now left only the recollection.
