Bishop Colenso and Sir Bartle Frere in Natal dispute
The long correspondence between the High Commissioner and Bishop Colenso centers on land rights in Natal. Colenso argues unequal private rights arose from disputed title and cites statements by Sir T. Shepstone. The bishop questions Cetewayo’s supposed claims and the Border Commission findings, while the High Commissioner notes conflicting evidence and the need to interpret tribal versus personal rights.
