Notes:p.132, No 95: 17/1/1900: AG Caldwell to CO: re his brother, Dr Caldwell, who was sentenced to 4 years' imprisonment with hard labour by the Boers. His brother is anti-Boer. After the declaration of war he stayed on at his practice in Krugersdorp. The Boers had no claim on him. Hearing of 'our' temporary reverses, he no doubt made up his mind to go at once and offer his services to the English. He was caught trying to leave the Transvaal, unjustly court-martialled, and sentenced. Asks if the consul in Pretoria could take steps in the matter.
P.174, 1956: No 143: 26/1/1900: CO to FO: Directed by JC to lay matter before Marquess of Salisbury; refers to previous incidents. [Answered by 4162, not printed.] [May not be same man-Transvaal database has Dr JC Caldwell.]
