BRITISH BLUE BOOK. LAND SETTLEMENT AND RESTOCKING. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. (Received March 3, 10.32 p.m.) London, March 3.

It would be a pity to send pedigree stock in any quantity to these colonies until j there was a reasonable prospect that i they would be able to survive the climate and change of pasture. j On February 16 there were 141 occupants of the burgher camps in the Transvaal and 490 in the Orange River Colony, mostly destitute women, children, and aged infirm. There were 370 land settlers in the Transvaal and 362 in the Orange River Colony. . v
