1258 ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATION [part Vv Naturally it has not always been possible to adjust with- out friction the relations of the Imperial and the Colonial Governments in connexion with the operations of Imperial and Colonial troops. The Governor of the Cape held, until the annexation of the Transvaal, a separate commission as High Commissioner for South Africa! and in that capacity, and not as Governor of the Cape, was entrusted with the conduct of the relations of the Crown with the native tribes beyond the borders of the British possessions in South Africa. After the grant of responsible government the position became more and more difficult, and eventually a violent dispute arose between Sir Bartle Frere, then Governor of the Cape, and the Ministry of the day, the first Ministry under responsible government, which was headed by Mr. Molteno.2 There were at the time of the dispute in 1877 two revolts raging, and Sir Bartle Frere was extremely anxious that the Colonial Government should not attempt to deal with these revolts, which appeared to him very serious, by their own resources only, but should secure the assistance of the Imperial troops in the Colony. On the other hand, the Ministry urged with some vehemence that the presence of the Imperial troops was contrary to the wishes and feelings of the Colony, and that they threatened the independence of the Colony, and they advised that they should be entirely withdrawn. Further, the Ministry proceeded to continue to urge that the Governor in his titular capacity as Com- mander-in-Chief should not interfere in any way with the Colonial forces, and they appointed one of the Ministry to take complete charge of warlike operations, independently of the control of the Governor and independently of the Imperial officer commanding the forces in the Cape of Good Hope. They also proceeded, without consulting the Governor, to make appointments to the military forces in his name, although he had not authorized such appointments. and * For a discussion in 1888 of the relations of the Governor and High Commissioner, cf. Parl. Pap., C. 5488, ! See Parl. Pap., C. 2079, 2144 ; Cape Acts Nos. 16 of 1855; 5 of 1878. 5. 31; 7 of 1878, 1. 32.
