He had said this before, and if members did not believe him let them call him a liar at once. June 5. Mr. ESSELEN objected to minutes not being full enough. Mr. TALJAARD accused Mr. Esselen of insulting the Raad.
Esselen decided to stand or fall by his subordinate, the result being a triumph for the President.

Mr. Kock, landdrost and polling-officer of Potchefstroom, who had deserved well of his patron, if for nothing more than the overthrow of Mr. Esselen, was appointed member of the Executive to fill a position created purposely for him.
