although recently chastened for his well-known underhand,
as well as open, hostility, by order of Governor Sir Harry

jesty's rebellious subjects, now associated with the rebel
Chief Sandilli, Kaffirs as well as Hottentots, in carrying on
• protracted war, and even to harbour rebel Hottentot in
his own country:
And whereas the said contumacious chief Kreli, when
mercifully called upon by me to desist from his evil prac-
tices, and use his well-known influence in putting an end to
the Gaika rebellion, and, in token of his good faith and slue
submission, to pay up the fine of cattle imposed by my pre-
decessor, Governor Sir H. Smith, which the said chief had
promised to pay, and on the laith of which promos, the
last expedition was mercifully withdrawn after the indic-
tion of half the punishment ilesorviil, has insolently .t nt

ance

jesty's authority, and in order to put an end to this war,
