THE CAPE.
Sir WILLIAM MOLES WORTH wished to ask the

and Natal, have set the British authority at defiance,
and have attacked the native tribes?
Sir JOHN PAKINGTON said the Eon. Baronet
laboured under an erroneous impression in supposing
that the ordinances which had been received were com-
plete; they were, in fact, not, strictly speaking, ordi-
nances, as they had not yet received the sanction of the
Governor; and it would, therefore, be premature at
present to lay them before the House.—(Heart hear.)

THE REV. BBNisIETT.

of the House that this day three weeks he had sub-
mitted a motion to the House on the subject of the
induction
,of the Bev. Mr. Bennett to the vicarage
of Frome, and it would also be remembered
that the Government promised to inquire into
the circumstances, which he then brought before
the House. It was three weeks since that motion was
made, and he therefore hoped he was not exhibiting any
undue haste in asking what steps had been taken for in-
stituting the inquiry and with what result?—(Hear.)
