1. CIRCULAR FOR MEETING AT HOUSE OF COMMONS1
HOUSE OF COMMONS,
November 5, 1906
DEAR SIR,

A meeting of the Liberal, Labour and Nationalist Members of this House will take place at 6 p.m. on Wednesday next, the 7th inst. in the Grand Committee Room, to hear the British Indian Deputation that has arrived from the Transvaal, in connection with the Ordinance passed by the Legislative Council of that Colony, termed the Asiatic Law Amendment Ordinance, and to pass a resolution.

In the opinion of the Delegates, the Ordinance reduces the British Indian settlers of the Transvaal to a position much worse than they occupied under the Boer regime and even than that of the Kaffirs.

They contend that the Ordinance in question is in contravention of promises repeatedly made by British Ministers and in conflict with British traditions.

The undersigned trust that you will be good enough to attend
the meeting.
We are,
Yours faithfully,
HENRY COTTON
