every succeeding period of ten years, to add, to alter, or repeal any of the provisions of this Our Charter, or to enact other provisions in substitution for or in addition to any of its existing provisions. Provided that the right and power thus reserved shall be exercised only in relation to so much of this Our Charter as relates to administrative and public matters. And We do further expressly reserve to Ourselves, Our heirs and successors, the right to take over any buildings or works belonging to the Company, and used exclusively or mainly for administrative or public purposes, on payment to the Company of such reasonable compensation as may be agreed, or as, failing agreement, may be settled by the Commissioners of Our Treasury. And We do further appoint, direct, and declare that any such writing under the said Great Seal shall have full effect and be binding upon the Company, its members, officers, and servants, and all other persons, and shall be of the same force, effect, and validity as if its provisions had been part of and contained in these presents. 34. Provided always, and we do further declare that nothing in this Our Charter shall be deemed or taken in anywise to limit or restrict the exercise of any of Our rights or powers with reference to the protection of any territories, or with reference to the government thereof, should we see fit to include the same within our dominions. 35. And we do lastly will, ordain, and declare, without prejudice to any power, to repeal this Our Charter by law belonging to us, Our heirs and suc cessors, or to any of Our Courts, ministers, or officers independently of this present declaration and reservation, that in case at any time it is made to appear to us in Our Council that the Company has substantially failed to observe and conform to the provisions of this Our Charter, or that the Company is not exercising its powers under the concessions, agreements, grants, and treaties aforesaid, so as to advance the interests which the Petitioners have represented to us to be likely to be advanced by the grant of this Our Charter, it shall be lawful for us, our heirs, and successors, and we do hereby expressly reserve and take to ourselves, Our heirs and successors, the right and power by writing under the Great Seal of Our United Kingdom to revoke this Our Charter, and to revoke and annul the privileges, powers, and rights thereby granted to the Company. In Witness whereof, We have caused Our Letters to be made patent. Latest Law on High Treason The latest Law on High Treason in the South African Republic is laid down in Section 148 of the Gold Act, Law No. 19 of 1895, which only came into force as recently as last November. That section says: 'Every person who, within the boundaries of a proclaimed field, makes himself guilty of insurrection, revolt, rebellion, or any unlawful opposition (or resistance) against the Government or lawful authority on the fields, shall over and above the punishment provided for such breach, forfeit in favour of the State all his rights and property on the said fields. The person or persons upon whose information anybody is found guilty of any of the above offences shall be entitled to one-half of the value of the confiscated property.'
