REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF INQUIRY
AT THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,
DATED THIS 7TH OF DECEMBER, iil2B, UPON THE COM-
PLAINTS ADDRESSED TO THE COLONIAL OOVERNMENT,
AND TO THE EARL SATHURST,RY MR. BISHOP BURNETT.
Cape Town, Cape of Goeid Hope, Dec. 7,1825.
My Loed,—ln pursuance of the instruction that accompanied the
voluminous correspondence of Mr. Bishop Burnett, and other do-
cuments that were communicated to ns at your Lordship's request
by bard Charles Somerset, we proceed to submit to year conai-
deviation nor report upon the complaints that were addressed to us
by Mr. Burnett in the course el our visit to the Eastern dieted at
the close of the year 1023.
We have further noticed the principal point' that he has urged
in the course of his subsequent correopondence with Mr. Wilmot
Horton, and the petition that at a more recent period has been pre-
sents(' in his name to the House of Commons.
We have already stated to your Lordship that we had distinctly
apprised Mr. Burnett, in the year 1824, that our inquiries into his
grievances would be limited to those that had an apparent or real
ainnexion with the operation of existing laws and institutions;
but that we could not hold out to him one expectation of speedy re-
dress, more especially if we should find that he had neglected or
omitted to avail himself of those modes or obtainino it that the laws
of the colony afforded.
The principal cause of his complaints appeared to be founded
or( the alleged injustice and illegality of certain decisions pro-
, notinced by two members of a commission of eirceit, who tried
several actions, in which he was plaintiff or e'seferniant. at Ora-
' ham's Town, in the year 1021; the severity and oppressive eon-
duct of 1•14 opponent in these actions: the art of the seques-
trator in prematurely otiblialang his insolvency in the Gazette,
sod the general effect of these measures upon his character Eyed
-credit.
Alr. Burnett also vsey strongly complained of the partial end ir-
raettler system by which the Commissariat Department made its
minimises of green forage for the supply of the cavalry of the
Cape Corm; andthe injurious effects of this system upon the ef-
forts of the emigrant settlers to avail themselves of the only mar.
ket that was open for the nroduce of their lands. He also com-
plained of the rejection of a claim that he had made upon the
same department for several loads of erase that had been cut upon
his land for the use of the Cane Cavalry. which he alleged that
Major Somerset, who commended the corps, ball promised to dis-
charge before be took Isis departure from Graham's Town, in the
year 11122.
We perceive that upon later and more public matelot:is Ile has de-
flounced certain other prectiere in the Commissariat Department,
deduced front ifs connexion with the establishment called the
" Somerset Farm," which has lately been doge away ; and that he
ha, adverted to the influent* alleged to have been exercised by the
Governor river the disposesl of fiovernment bills by the Commissary. '
and the regulation of the periods of drawing, both of which, if at- I
tended with the incommode:lce -or effects stated by Mr. Burnett,
have been removed by the enforcement of the regulations issued by
the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury ; and by the facility that
is now affioded in the exchange of paper currency for Government
Etii:e at a certain final rate.
We do not consider necessary to take any reticular notice
in this place of the complaint that was made by
.Mr. Burnett of the
refusal of the local government to include him in the general issue
of rations provided for those settlers who had emigrated under the
guarantee of pecitniery deposits, which were to be reimbursed to
them on the fulfilment of' cortain conditions. Mr. Burnett had'
withdrawn himself before he left England from the engagements
into which they had altered, and arrived at the Cape with an en-
tire freedom of choice as to pursuits or destination, with a claim
upon Government, in consequence of your lordship's recommen.
dation, for a grant of land proportionate to the means that he
brought, or should be able to prove that tic brought with him for
its cultivation. Several memorials from biro on these subjects arc
recorded in the office or the chief secretary to this government, and
couched in vehement and frequently offensive language; but we find
that at a subsequent period. Me. Burnett partook of the issue of
rations, by ordt r of the Magistrate at Graham's Town, to the
amount of 7211 rix-dollwa, for which he is still indebted to the go.
vernment. He Oroceeded to the district of Albany, after having
received information that the lands at the River Knysaa„ upon
which he waft desirOus of Belding, Were not in the dispdsal of go-
vernment, early in the year 1820. He took a lease of a farm
named " Doom Valley." advantageously situated in the imme-
diate vicinity of Graham's Town ; and in consequence of an spoil-
cation to the acting Governor, Sir Butane Donkin, he received a
grant of land adjoining this form. Although our inquiries respect-
ing the means and resources brought into the colony by Mr. Bur-
nett have not been of a direct nature, we are led to conclude that
they were very limited, and chiefly, if nos entirely, consisted of the
credit that he might possess in England, in consequence of his rela-
tionship to some of the int:miters ut a respectable mercantile house
near London.
Through the recominendatino of the acting Governor, the su-
perintendent of the government farm at Somerset was induced to
advance to him a certain quantity of stock and grain, amounting
to the sum of nine hundred six dollars; and it appears that he ob-
tained similar advances from a subordinate officer of the same
establislontut.
Mr. Burnett repaired to his farm, and applied himself with acti-
vity to the production of green forage ter the use of the cavalry of
the Cape Corps stationed at Graharn'a Town; having been encou-
ratted in this pursuit by the great demand that Lieutenant-Colonel
Somerset informed him existed for green forage, and by the facility
with which it was supplied from the gardens and allonnents of the
officers of the corps, and of the inhabitants of Graham's Town.
A lease of this farm had been executed by Mr. Hart. the owner,
dated 13th June, 11120, in favour of Mr. Burnett, in which it was
stipulated that he should have possession of it for three years. at an
annual rent of six ::unfired six dollars, commencing on the 3d (My ;
of May then past, with an option of renewal at tire end of the term
for three years longer, and a p:twer of purchasing the form, at any
time during its continuance. for the sum of seven thoesane six
Mr. Burnett entered upon the laud ; and, in consequence of
an application that he made to the acting Governor, Sir Rufane
Donlan, he received in the sante year a grant of land, consisting of
1,200 acres, as well as a building allotment at Bathurst, subject to
a condition of locating seven persons on the former as soon as he
could obtain them from Cape Town, and of constructing a house
upon the latter within three years from the date.
Although Mr. Burnett had expressed himself' greatly dissatisfied
with tuna grant in several memorials, and had intoortuned the Co.
lonial Government for an extension of it, yet he himself bears testi-
mony to its value, in letterrs, dated 9th August and Ist November,
1820, that he possessed " a place under such singular advantages
that he could net but foresee a most prosperous issue to his under-
taking; and that front its command of wood and water, and its
contiguity to Graham's Town, it was considered the finest and
most valuable giant on the frontier."
Mr. Burnett immediately commenced the cultivation of his land,
and employed a considerable number of labourers and workmen in
throwing up fences, and in the improvement and embellishment of
some garden ground on the farm of Mr. Hart, as well as in repair-
iog some small cottages that he found upon it. lie also built an
ornamental rustic lodge, and surrounded a large portion of his gar-
den
ground with park palings. Having es:Ails/tad a connexion
with a mercantile house in Cape Town, he continued to receive
supplies from them, consisting partly of articles that were wanted
in the district, but that were nut of a description that would tend to
augment or improve the agricultural value of his farm.
About the commencement of the year 11121, lie received an appli-
cation from Mr. Hart for the payment of his account for advances,
which, as lie was unable to liquidate, became the subject of judicial
process issued from the Court of Justice in the month of Febritery,
in that year. It is necessary here to observe, that on the 24th of
the same mouth Mr. Burnett Mel executed, before the secretary of
the district of Uisenhage, an assianment of all Isis property, includ-
ing credits, in favour of the mance:stile house at Cape Town that
had made pecuniary advances to him.
Information having been received by this house respecting Mr.
Burnett'a credit in England that was not satisfactory, and the bills
that he offered them in payment having been tendered for sale with-
out success in Cape Town, they were induced to accept the assign.
ment and mortgage of ail his property of every description, wait&
be was further empowered to occupy and retain for their benefit,
transmitting to them an annual account of their proceeds. The in,.
strument was executed before a notary of a neighbouring district,
with a view to avoid the injurious effects that the notoriety of the
transaction, if it had passed in his own district, would have pro-
duced.
In the mean time, the action that Mr. Hart hail instituted
against him was proceeding ; and as Mr. Burnett did not repair to
Cape Town according to the summons, or employ an advocate there
in his defence, sentence was pronounced against Min on the 26th
July, 1821, by default, after four separate summonses had, ac-
cording to the practice of the Court, been duly served upon hint by
the Messenger of the district of Albany. It has been asserted by
Mr. Burnett athat these forms were conducted in the Dutch
language, which he did not understand ; but we have every. reason I
to believe that they were accompanied by English translations—a'
practice that is observed in all cases where there are English parties;
more especially es to every one of the summonses that were served I
by the Messenger, Mr. Burnett invariably replied in English, and
in a manner that proved his entire acquaintance with the nature of
the proceedings. The sentence of condemnation of payment was'
transtnitted by the sequestroter (the offieer who executes writs) to
his agent in the Albany district, on the 27th Get. 1821.
On being summoned to point out property in payment of this'
debt, Mr. Burnett produced before the Landdrost of the dis-
trict (the agent to the sequestrator) a notarial art of assignment of
all hill property to the firm of Messrs. Ebden and Eaton, together
with a power of attorney from them to act as their agent in the ad-
minissration of the property. He further declared, that since the
passing of this deed no property of any description had become
boon
,fide his, and that he had no property of which he could render
an inventory.
Considering this declaration to be somewhat unusual, the segues-
trator required that it should be confirmed by tine oath of 3lr. Bur-
nett ; a precaution that had been already taken by the agent. A
similar declamation having been made by Mr. Burnett, in answer
to another sentence that was issued against him, the sequestrator
proceeded to advertise, in the Cope Toren Gazette of April, 184,

APPEAL to the PUBLIC from the LETTER-PRESS
PRINTERS ef the METROPOLIS.
At a time when so many Appeals are made to the Benevolence
elite Public by Bodice more numerous and perhaps mom import.
ant, though certainly rot, individually, more distressed, great
reluctance is frit by the COM 11 ITTEE nefilog for the JOUR•
MEN PRINTERS of the METROPOLIS in soliciting
for their Unemployed and Destitute Fellow-workmen any portion
of the Public sympathy. It is not the wish, neither would it be
the province, of this Cotnmittce, to advert to the Causes which hare
led to the present Embarrassments of Trade ; they will, !waterer,
take leave to state, that on no branch ot industry has the pres‘are
of the timed fallen witii greater severity than oa the Primiag Busi-
ness. Every effort It's been made, and is now making, by the
Juninernen in Employment, both in Town and Country, to lessen
the Calamity which has befallen their Brethren, by a \Weekly
Subscription oilt of their scanty Earnings; but the Amount time
collected proving so veil, inadequate to meet the pressing and
Increasing Demands. they arc constrained, unwillingly, to adopt
this their oily resource, of laying their Distresses before a humane
Public, and of supplicating its generous Aid. without which Num-
bers of their mos: deserving Brethren must endure, it is fared, for
Months, all the Evils which Poverty can possibly inflict-
Although this Appeal is addressed to the Public at large, in the
hope that some individuals, fmm motives of humanity, will step
forward to their assistsnee, the Journeymen Prime's arc conscious
of no claim on general sympathy stronger than that of urgent dis-
tress. They venture, however, to appeal to the patriotic feelings
of their Countrymen—to such as co isitier . the Press a powerful
engine, not merely du the diffusion of Knosledge and advancement
of Science, but also in the preservation of Public Liberty, that
they will allow those feelings to operate in favour of the men who
minister in its service, and who now unfortunately are compelled to
implore their succour.
To the Literary Portion of the Public they wish particularly to'
address themselves, with becoming humility, in this their season
of adversity ; most of whom see doubtless aware that far some time
after the introduction of the Art, the profession of • Printer was as
illtistzious as it was polite:id.: but wheher from the intooda made
by Machinery—the general diffusion of Education, which renders
learning no mark of distinetion--or from whatever other cause—
cevoin it is, the operative Printer is not at all superior, in point of
remuneration, to that of the commonest handicraft workman. They
confidently cherish the hope, however. that their claims to protection
will still be recognised by the lovers of Literature, and that the
humble instruments of ushering into the world the production. of
Dennis and Learning will not be suffered to perish without
assistance.
The Committee cannot omit to notice, in terms of pride and
thankfulness, the liberal Donation Which has been sent to a Sub-
scription now raising in Bristol and its Neighbourhood, for the
Distressed Printers, by • celebrated Female, an ornament to her
sex and to the Literature of her Country. Moat serviceable will it
prove to the objects of her bounty—more valuable as an csaniplc fur
imitation.
Subscriptions will be gratefully received by the Committee, ,who
attend every Monday and Tuesday Evening for that special pur-
pose, at the Three herrings. Bell-yard, Temple Bar, where they
will be happy to give every information, and where their Accouiits
1 and System of Menagement will be open to the inspection of those
benevolent individuals who may feel di-posed to aid their cause.

a notice to the creditors of Bishop Burnett to send in they claims
in consequence of his insnlveocy.
In a conversation that took place between the sequestrator and
I the principal creditor of Mr. Burnett, at Cape Town, on presentimg
I the temente his claims, the former having but an imperfect know-
ledge of the English language, mums to have mistakes ade lava-
lion of this creditor's wisfi to defer the sale of the property of Mr.
Burnett, for an undertaking to arrange the payment of hie dents,
I
land under this belief despatched an order to his agent to suspend
the proceedings against Mr. Burnett, and to call his creditor* to.
I gether, and submit. to them the proposals he had made for the gra-
, dual payment ot theit claims.—Them proposals having been whit-
I drawn by Mr. Burnett himself, and no satisfactory artjuettitent
having been made with the etequestrator, hia agent, at Graham's
Town, at the instance of Mr. Hart, who contended that he was
I entitled to the possession of his farm proceeded to a valuation of
! the improvements that Mr. Bennett bed made upon it. The ni-
-1
' tuition was made by two persons appointed by the*fanddrost, but
no other steps appear to have been adopted for Mr.'Burnett's re-
moval.
Beth parties feeling dissatisfied with this state of thin" Mr.
I
Hart being disappointed in not being able to recover his debt, Or
the posseuion of his farm, and 31r. Burnett haling been injured
in his credit by the public declaration of his insolvency. addreseseci
complaints to the Government and to the Court ot Justice. an.l
brought fictions against each other behire the Court of Circuit ia
the year 1822, the first to cancel the lease and to eject the tenant
on account of his insolvency; and the hitter, to recover damages
for illegally attempting to eject him, and for serving him with no-
tice to quit.
In the tint action, Hain relied upon the declaration of Burnates
insolvency, end produced a Gazette in proof tf It ; but Burnett
having alleged that he had no oppottunity of (*mining the detu-
mints necemsem for his defence, and as the Cohn ebund, upon re-
ferring to the landdrost of the district. tt:at a corresUreidence was
still open with the sequeoreioe upon the subject, debited that the
further consideration of the case Audit be postponed. and that
time should be allowed td the defend: rat to disprove the allemitioa
of insolvency.
The action of Barnett against /fart for illegally attempting to
dienomess him was defetred by consent, and upon a suggestton
front the Court that th, entry of the cause should he animuled by
making the sequestrator a party to the defence. It is alleged by
Mr. Burnett mat the Commissionen of Circuit, in the year 1822,
made a format declaration of the irregularity of the proceedings of
the sequestrator, but we do not find t hammy mention of such a de-
cimation is entered upon the Records Of the Court. It has been
stated by a very competent witness. thin he heard one of the Com-
missioners of the Court declare that the proceedings, were irregular
for want of a schedule of the debts and credit t but even if this de-
claration had been an made, it would not have had the effect of su-
perseding the act of the sequestneor,_ for the terms on which the
postponement of the trial was granted implied a necessity of eih-
mining further evidence. We here refer to die Comnitseioners
of Circuit upon this point, and find that although they &Ter in
their recollection of what was Kuhl by one of them upon this occa-
sion, yet they have finally concurred in thinking that the eoneitle-
Tifton of the question of insolvency was suspended and left open to
future discussion ; we cannot therefore concur in the assertion made
and often repeated by Mr. Burnett, that his insolvency Lad been
&demi by the Court in Iffind to be irregular or online
Mr. Burnett was thus enabled to retain the posnesion of the farm
'for another year, and he has asserted that he made a tender of the
rent to the secretary of the district, but it is positively asserted by
t the secretary that Mr. Burnett only requested to know whether I.e
would receive the rent, and upon hie declining it as not being ma
of his duty, Mr. Burnett retired end did not repeat his request.
In the month of May, of the year Jun, Mr. Hart renewed his
action of ejectment before the Gantt of Justiee in Cape Town, beet
his claim was referred to the then ensuing toinetiseion of Oman
that arrived in Graham's Town in the month .if Omolefit, Preview'
to this period, cross-actions bad been entered before the district-
clerk, amounting n number to nine, but which were reduced to sit
by the Court, with consent of the parties. The order which
determined to hear them was opposed by Burnett, on the ground of
its disturbing the arrangement he hail made for his defence, which
was framed upon sit understanding that the prim ity that had been
given to each cause by the district-clerk woukt be observed in the
hearing. The Court, however, having considered that the causes
that had been postponed from the former year ought to have pre-
cedence, resolved to proceed in the trial of the action of ejectment
!nought by dlr. Hart for recovering the possession of his farm, and
for cancelling the lease under which it teas held, ihtimatiag at die
same time that it would give no decision upon any of the causes
until all had been hard.
In the scion of ejectment the plaintiff Hart relied upon the de.
duration of Barnett's insolvency ; and row added, Yon further
ground of action, the breach of a condition in the non-payment of
rent for two yews. The lease contained no positive terms for the
payment of the rent, yet Mr. Hart contended that the words
" untie% payment of six hundred dollars" clearly implied that
s this RIM was to he paid in every year. In support of this masitioo,
he was permitted to exhibit a et?Ttifirlte of the notary by whom the
lease was drawn, attesting diet at the time of its execution an under-
standing prevailed between the parties. that the punnet of the
rent shoeld be mntal. It was contended by the defendant Bur-
-1 nett, that the Irate bore an opposite censeruction ; that no rent was
due until the explration of the tint three years ; that it wes op-
tional will him to exited the occupation of the farm until the end
of the following three. He offered Ito evidence, and the Coral. at
the termination of their Session, decided that the pnintlff was
entitled to enter oi the possession of the farm, and condemned the
def ndan t i qui it immediately.
In the emu action t' at was tried, Mr. Bishop Burnett was
laintiff, and complained of the illegal earning that had been given
him
by Mr. hart t i ciu;t the finm, and of an absolute order that I e
had received to leave it in the month of Aped of the current year.
It was agreed to join to this case an action that he had entered fee
damages from these notices. I'mof was given of tl:e interrut time
of the 1 tbourers whom Mr. Burnett had employed in pnoturieg
bark and preparing charcoal in his own grant of land, in eens -
quer ce i f the reeler of the notices; and proof was also given : f
the moths that might have been derived from the tale of greet.
forage, but dependent always upon the opportunities that might
exist of disposing of it. The Court rejected the plaintiff's claim
for damages. in consequence of the notice given by the de-
fendant, who justified it by the public declaration of the plaintiff's
insolvency, and of the expiration of the lease in the month at'
May, 1823; and the Coutt also condemned the plaintiff to iay
the costs.
The action brought by Burnett against Mr. Hart, and the se-
questrnter, for damages arising from their having illegally compiled
to eject hint from the farm called Bourn Valley, and which lied
been deferred in the year 1822, was next heard. The plaintiff'
proved, that an order had been given by the eequestrator to his
agent at Graham's Town, dated 28th January, lailed. stating that,
in consequence of the firm of Messrs. Ebden and Eaton having de-
clared that Mr. Ilinhop Burnett was no' their agent, but that Ito
was indebted to them in a considerable sum, he was forthwith to
proceed in seizing and selling all his propene. This order lied
been attempted to be ceforced by the larteldrost, but had been we t
by a protest of 3lr. Burnett against it as illegal, and a declaration
of his ihtention or retaining possession of the farm until contepelka
by actual force to quit it. On the part of one of the derenehnte,
Hart, it was contended that no conspiracy was proved ; that he
had done no net in conjunction with the smuttier:nor ; that he had
repaired to Graham's Town in consequence of an order of the
landdrost to take over the farm, and was there informed that it.
consequence of snbaequent orders that proceeding was to be sae-
pended, and a valuation cf the improvements on the nem was to
be made.
The same defendant further contended for the legality of his
proceeding spinet the plaintiff, who had attempted to defeat the
claims of just creditors, by making over all his properly to one in-
dividual, and had thus exe °set himself to the cot sequences of a
declared insolvency ; one of which was the avoidance of the lease.
and of alleight to continue in possession ot the term. A memoral
was submitted to the Court on behalf of the seemestrator, that the
lateness of the notice of trial precluded his attendance ; and inde-
pendent of this circumetanze he contended that the plaintiff should
have qualified himself to bring this action by first obtaining a
" ventain agendi," a form that is observed in the Celonial Cour n
whenever a public officer of rank is summoned. The C ur, is
pursuance of a power given to them by a proclamation of the yea:
1813, referred the cause to the decision of the full Court.
In an action for rent, brought by Hart, fur the occupation or du-
rum, the sum of one thousand two hundred nix dollars was thereett
to be paid to him by Burnett, together with interest, from the 23th
May, the day on which the leis? expired.
The next action was brought by Mr. Hart manna Burnett, m
recover damages for removing fruit trees from his farm, and the
destroying two buildings that were standing upon it at the come
mencernent of his leue ; and the loss of the harvest of the cnrrent
year, in consequence of the defendant having continued to occupy
the farm beyond the expiration of it. After hearing the evidence,
the Court rejected the claim for damages, but compensated the
plaintiff by allowing hint ret.t from the expiration of the team on
the 25th May, 1823, to the period of the defendant quinine"; the
farm in the month of October. The plaintift; however, was con-
demned in the costs of the action.
The defence to these actions was made by Mr. Bishop Bur-
nett in writing, and was nem:Med to be read In the Court. It
abounds in violeot invective against the Government, and some of
the public funmionaries; and some passages were considered tea
be so calumnious, ns to induce the Commissioners of the Collet
of Circuit to transmit the document to the cognisance of the
Fiscal ; but it does not appear that any prosecution was founded
upon it.
When the trials were concluded, the memorials of certain meth-
ton of Bishop Butnett were heard, complaining of the delay in ex-
ecuting the sentences they had obtained ;entitle' him : and, in one
of them, a charge was made against Burnett of having committed
acts that were in finial of his creditors ; the Court of Circuit ordered.
that Burnett should again be summoned to give an account of his

been alleged against hint was committed to the inquiry of the land-
drum and the heeinranden of the district.
Agatieet all these decisions, except the last, Bishop Burnett en-
eeee&appean ; but, instead of prosecuting them before the High
Court of Appeal, he tranamitted a memorial to the Governor.
