cuAP. Iv] IMMIGRATION OF COLOURED RACES 1097 providing means by which any such order may be brought before Courts for confirmation or discharge, and that your Ministers will refrain from exercising this power pending such legislation. His Majesty’s Government accept with some reluctance provisions of s. 6, subsection ¢, but they feel sure that dis- crimination will be exercised by your Ministers in employ- ment of the powers conferred. If your Ministers can give the two specific assurances asked for His Majesty will not be advised to disallow the Act. The Ministry gave the assurances requested, and the Act became law. Since then the trouble with the Transvaal Indians has been lasting and difficult. There was resistance to the registration law, followed by a partial understanding, and the passing of a new Act, No. 36 of 1908, but the old Act remained still in existence ; then there was a demand for the repeal of the immigration restriction law and the adoption simply of a Natal Act; then there was a demand for the permission for the settlement in the Colony of a few professional persons, and difficulties arose as to wives and children coming from India, while the expulsion in 1909 over the border into Lourengo Marques of persons deported from the Colony has caused great difficulties, and complaints have been made as to the treatment of prisoners by refusing them leave to observe their religious practices.! Matters have also been complicated by misunderstandings of the intentions of the Government, apparently despite perfect good faith on both sides, Mr. Gandhi and Mr. Smuts taking different views of the result of these discussions. The question of deportation under the Act was discussed in the Courts, but it was held that the Crown had power under the Acts to deport to the country of origin of the persons de- ported? the provisions of the Acts as regards registration and right of entry were upheld as was inevitable in the Courts? See Parl. Pap., Cd. 4327, 4584, 5363. In the Orange River Colony an Act of 1890 practically prevented any immigration while Ordinance No. 12 of 1907 provided for the exemption of coloured persons of distinc tion, and the question has thus been of no consequence. t Hong Kong and Leung Quin v.
