CAPE TOWN. April 5.--A correspond
enJ has had long interview with Hon.
J. Rose -InnCs. the leader Of the British
side in the Cape Parliament. on the sub
ject Of the treatment OF the rebel Dutch.
Mr. lines said that special tribunal for
the trial Of the rebels was certainly nee
essary. Besides the technical didicuIties.
arising from the number Of cases. he said
it is not desirable under the present cir
cumstances TO impose the task OF deciding
the cases upon colonial jurors
A tribunal presided over by an eminent
English judge, would be much more salts
factory to all concerned Il should have
the same power in regard TO imposing pun
ishment as the Supreme Court of the Cane
and should also have the power Of disfran-
chising the rebels, either with or without
any other penalty.
Mr.. Rose-Innes continued: Under the
present law a conviction for treason dis
franchises a person permanently but does
not distinguish the degree of culpability.
The tribunal that ] refer to should have
the power of fixing the period Of disfran-
chisement according 10 the degree Of guilt.
A special statute is necessary for the crea-
tiun Of this tribunal IL is not advisa bic
at the present time to summon the Cape
Parliament TO pass this necessary act.
Therefore, the Imperial Parliament Is the
only body that has the necessary power.
THE difficulty Of legislating over the
head Of the Cape Parliament would be
partly removed il the Cape Government
was invited TO initiate the legislation.
Thus 10 is more than likely that II the
Dutch legislators should reply that IL was
fnadyleablp ~ summon Parliament tho nh
lection to the Imperial Parliament legis-
lating for this colony would be greatly
iessened. In ali events, immediate action
is necessary %
