WESTMINSTER.

Nkulooevolkso, the chief of the Zulu Kaffir's, at present
exhibiting at the St. George's Gallery, Knightsbridge, ap
peered to answer a charge of disorderly conduct.
Some difficulty arose as to the mode of making the ac-
cused acquainted with the evidence against him, which u'u
ultimately effected by a double interpretation, a gentleman
turning the English into Dutch, and a Kaffir who under-
stood the latter acquainting defendant with what was said,
and vice versa when it came to hie turn to speak.
Mr. Charles Henry Caldecott, son of a merchant at Port
Natal, said th►t his father brought the Zulus to this coun-
try with him, and left them in his charge. On Tuesday
afternoon, defendant and four others went out without
complainant's leave into the park. He sent for them but
they refused to return, until a policeman, who was sent
for them, brought them back. When they arrived at the
door of the exhibition they would not go in but stood about
the door, and when defendant was spoken to he wu very
impertinent, and would nut listen to what he said. As •
great number of persons, attracted by their appearance,
gathered round the door, complainant and some friends
tried to push them in and close the door, as their remain-
ing outside cause a great annoyance to the neighbourhood.
Defendant then told complainant (in Kaffir) to look
out, and lifting up his fist told him he would
strike him. Complainant tried to induce them
to be calm and go in, when d fendant came
close up to him and stru, k him on the shoulder
with his hands. It was done iu a very threatening way,
but did not hurt him. Defendant then drew his hand
across his face. Three cr four of complainant's friends
got before defendant nod prevented him, or he would have
struck him again. Defendant and his party then went up
stairs into the gallery and armed themselves with their
clubs, and thinking that the lives of the Whir Kaffirs who
had sided with him would not be safe, he gave the defend-
ant into custody.
The above having been interpreted to the defendant, he
was in due form asked what he had to ,ay in reply.
Defendant having uttered a few words, the English inter-
preter observed," He wishes to know why he was pushed
and struck for going out 1"
Mr. Broderip to blr. Caldecott—Hu be signed any agree-
ment or contract to give you power over him ?
Mr. Caldecott produced as agreement signed by the de-
fendant and the others on the 3Uth of November, 18.54 and
duly certified by Mr. J. Shepston, diplomatic agent, to the
effect that Mr. Caldeeott should pay their passage to Eng-
land, clothe, maintain, and allow them a certain sum per
month, and land them again at Port Natal within eighteen
months, unless a further agreement should be made by
mutual consent, for which they agreed to serve him faith-
fully during the said period by performing all such native
:Ames and other customs as might be required for the pur-
poses of exhibition or otherwise.
Mr. Broderip observed that from the remark which had
been made by defendant, he appeared to be as good a law-
yer u any in Westrainster-hall. The parties agreed to

r scree faithfully, "by performing such native dances and
other native cicdom.. f.r exhit ition," tut he co.1:•1 not, by
their agr.ement, for in•tance, pat tlym to .try ULt.l.ll: am-
; laymen?, and the rieru•id mew rimed to ~nos. ). I h
woo not permitted to go out, the c.ntract containing no re-
strictiou in that re:lect.
Mr. C.l :ec ,tt pointed tri• t t the rirlei.drit.• that :f they
were permitted to go abroad at their own pleasure witl.out
control, the omsequencts to the public might be most
serious. lie considered that they were entirely in his
charge, while they were fr ,ria their native country, and his
father was tinder sureties to the amount of 1,0001. to see
that they were prop( r:y curd f and tristiu, under the
snreement to the Co:onisl government, and landed at rot
Metal, at the stipulated time.
Alter sorne further conversation,

Mr. Proderip, addressing the interpreters, said: " Tell
the defendant that if he s-vikes anybody, he will he
punished according to our law, but if he has any complvi!it
of the way he is treated, ant violent hauds are Lid span hint,
they mmt let him come hi re and complain. Will he un-
dertake to behave well in futule, and nut be violent, but
come here if he has any complaints ?"
The interpreters having communicated this, announced
his reply, " that he w..s very sorry, and that he would not
do so again, but if a man pushed him, he must push
again." . . . . . .

'Mr.
Broderip told him he must not push again ; but that
the man who pushes wr,ngfully, will he brought hers and
punished.
He was then discharged.
