This edition presents the proceedings of a Royal Commission appointed in 1852 to examine the past and present state of the Kafir in the Natal district, their future government, and recommended arrangements to secure peace and welfare. It offers a window into early colonial administration, debates over location policy, and the challenges of ruling a diverse native population with a growing settler community.

See debates on location policy, native administrations, and the role of law and justice
Gain insight into the attitudes, concerns, and proposals of both colonial officials and local leaders
Understand the practical questions of governance, taxation, and security raised by the commission
