Twenty years a friend — and ruins me." The Legislative Assembly has unanimously adopted the report of tbe committeo that Cecil Rhodes directed and controlled Jameson's raid The ("bartered Company's books showed that Rhodes' cheques covered an account styled " new concession" for £61,500, and that he also met Wolff's and White's advances for the purpose of the raid. The London directors explain that before the raid an advance of £1000 was advised, and they believe that the " new concession" referred to Bechuanaland.
