- Summary:
- Description: Manuscript documents, including correspondence, memoranda and depositions relating to the conflict between Boer settlers and the Griqua people. The conflict stemmed from a dispute over settler encroachment into Griqua territory, beyond the boundaries of the Cape Colony. The volume makes reference to attempts made by the colonial authorities to intercede, its subsequent military intervention, and the agreements eventually made. A brief index is included at the end of the document.
- Notes:
- After some dispute as to ownership of the Cape of Good Hope between colonial powers, the territory was recaptured by the British in 1806 and formally became a British colony in 1814. In 1910 Cape Colony became a province of the new Union of South Africa.
