Abstract
The Letters Patent embodying the Constitution of the Transvaal have now been published. The Letters direct the Governor of the Transvaal to reserve Bills "which make persons not of European birth or descent subject to special disabilities and restrictions." With reference to Native administration, the Governor continues paramount chief, and provision is made for the Governor "to summon consultative assemblies of Native reserves." Swaziland is to be remain separate from the Transvaal proper and is to be governed as a Protectorate. The provisions will call for the exercise of much tact and firmness on the part of the Governor.
