Abstract
The South African Republic, also known as the Transvaal, was originally formed by part of the Boers, who left the Cape Colony in 1S35 for Natal, but quitted that colony on its annexation to the British Crown. In 1852 the independence of the Transvaal was recognised by the British Government, and the constitution of the State is based on the ‘Thirty-Three Articles,’ passed May 23, 1849, and the ‘Grondwet,’ or Fundamental law of February 13, 1858.
