CHAPTER V.
LAW AND JUSTICE IN THE TRANSVAAL.[9] 1 .-- _Contempt of Justice._ I stated at the close of my last article that I did not think that Dr.
Kuyper had even made mention of Articles 7 and 14 of the Convention of 1884.

I find that I was mistaken.

He has said a few words about the latter, to draw from it the inference that it did not give the right of franchise to Uitlanders.

He is right.
But Articles 7 and 14 guarantee to all white men, civil rights, the protection of their persons and property, the right to enter into trade, and equality of taxation.

How did the Boers construe the application of these conditions of the Convention of 1884?
As early as 1885 Mr.
Gladstone found himself obliged to send Sir Charles Warren to prevent the Boers from invading Bechuanaland.
