shall nevertheless have been clearly proved, before him and his said council, by the evidence of the said pursuer, pakati, or other proof, that the property was traced into his territory, he, the said chief, shall, within 14 days thereafter, indemnify the person robbed, to the full value of the property lost and no more, and compensate the said pakati for his exertions.

XXI. With the exception of indemnification, obtained through the said chiefs and council in the manner specified in the foregoing or appended Articles, no person pursuing stolen property shall be allowed to take any but his own property, or the identical property he is in pursuit of, unless tendered to him, on pain of having to restore the property so taken, and losing all further claim to the property actually lost.

Further: The said contracting chief doth hereby agree, that if any person in the pursuit of stolen property shall be unable or unwilling to make the affidavit above-mentioned, but if, notwithstanding, he has good and sufficient reason to believe that his property has been taken across the said line, he shall, after having sent information of his intention to the pakati stationed nearest the spot where he means to cross the boundary, be at liberty to proceed at once in pursuit of the same, provided he do not go armed, or accompanied by armed British subjects, or assist in any violence of any kind within said territory; and the pakati shall, in all such cases, be bound to afford every assistance to the party pursuing; and in the event of his tracing the said property or depredators to a responsible party or kraal, he shall then proceed to the diplomatic agent of the tribe to which the said kraal belongs, to whom he shall make a statement of his proceedings, and if the agent shall be satisfied that sufficient proof has been adduced, he shall immediately lay the case before the captain of the kraal, who shall cause restitution of the property to be made, if possible, or compensation to be awarded for the same; and in the event of the captain of the kraal being unable or unwilling to make restitution or compensation, the said agent shall lay the case before the contracting chief in whose territory the kraal is situated, who shall cause restitution of, or compensation for, the said property to be made. And the said chief does hereby engage, in all such cases, to punish the depredators, if discovered, or in the event of such discovery not being made, to punish the captain of the kraal to which such depredators were traced.

Further If any person shall not be able to comply with the regulations above set forth, but nevertheless shall have ascertained that his property has been taken across the boundary, he shall be at liberty to proceed across the said line in search of the same, provided he sends notice to the pakati of his intention, and does not go armed, or accompanied by armed British subjects, or assist in any violence

of any kind in such territory; and in the event of his being able to identify his property, upon sufficient proof of the correctness of his statement being adduced, the agent shall demand from the chief in whose territory the property is thus discovered and identified, restitution of the same, and the said chief shall likewise cause the party in whose possession the said property was found to pay such amount of damages as shall be considered equitable by the agent and chief.

The said chief doth further bind and oblige himself that in the event of information being given to him that a murder has been committed in the colony, and the murderer has escaped beyond the boundary, he will use every exertion to apprehend and deliver the said murderer to justice, and also to afford to the Government every information with respect to the chiefs of other tribes who may harbour in their country the murderers of colonial subjects.

And lastly, the said chief doth further agree that the above alterations made in the Treaty, as well as the clauses which have been now appended thereto, shall have as much force and effect as if they had been embodied in the said Treaty itself.

Thus done, and agreed, sealed and signed by his Excellency Major-General Sir George Thomas Napier, K.C.B., Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, on the part of Her Britannic Majesty, and by the subscribing chief on the part of the said tribe of Tambookies, before the uudermentioned witnesses at Graham's Town, the 28th day of January, 1841.

IV. He also engages to assist the colonial authorities in any enterprise which they may find it necessary to undertake, for the recovery of property or the apprehension of banditti, who, having been pursued from the colony, may have taken refuge in any part of the country under his jurisdiction.

V. And, generally, he engages to apprize the colonial authorities of any intended predatory or hostile attempt against the colony which may come to his knowledge, and to co-operate cordially and in all good faith with the colonial Government in preserving peace and extending civilization among the native tribes.

In consequence of the above engagements, the Governor, on his part, engages:

3.
