Treatment off the Boers.
MORE SPECIAL PLEADINGS. CHAMBERLAIN'S FIRM STAND. LONDON, March 29. In the House of Commons Lord Broderick stated that 28,560 mounted troops-had been despatched to South Africa since February, while 6000 were awaiting transports. Mr Balfour declined to propose i that the Boer delegates—Merriman and Saver—be 'heard at the bar of the House of Commons. Mr Bryee objected to the punishment of rebels, and advised general amnesty and a gift of £2,000,000 to restock the farms. Hon. J. Chamberlains said the rebels must be punished, otherwise it would be an injustice to loyalists, It would be folly, not magnamin ity, to assist tho Boers by a gift instead of a loan.
