This was reimbursed to Meyer by the Government, and, despite the judgment of the Court, the President said he was in the right, and that he would protect him.
This is the way in which Mr.Krueger understands justice towards Europeans and European subjects; let us see how he understands it with regard to natives.
A Kaffir, named April, having worked several years on a farm, asked for his salary as agreed in cattle and a pass.

The farmer refused him the cattle, and wanted to force him, his wives, and children, to continue working for him.

The Kaffir appealed to the field cornet Prinsloo, who treated him as an unruly slave.

The Court condemned Prinsloo for abuse of power.

Some days later the President announced that he had reimbursed Prinsloo his expenses and damages, remarking: "Notwithstanding the judgment of the Court, we consider Prinsloo to have been in the right."
