He is the big chief of this part, we have lots of evidence that he instigated rebellion and murders of whites, he is badly wounded, we cannot send him to Buluwayo, and I must be leaving this with some of the senior officers tonight. So if the court find him guilty and sentence him to be shot I shall take on myself the responsibility of confirming it. The effect too should be very good for being carried out promptly and at his own stronghold - and we have a good number of rebels, prisoners and refugees, here to witness it & report it to the remainder. I will send you the proceedings`, plus three manuscript documents marked enclosure A, B, C, the first a two page autograph letter signed from Baden-Powell to Frederick Carrington, also dated 13th September 1896 enclosing the proceedings of the Field General Court Martial and confirming that the sentence of execution by shooting was carried out at sundown, `The moral effect among the natives of this district where Uweena was the chief Induna, will, I think, be all the greater for the sentence being carried out promptly and at the chief`s own stronghold and should save further bloodshed`, the second enclosure an autograph letter from N.D. Fynn, Buluwayo, 1st October, 1896, a long three-page report giving his soundings on the death of Uwini, `There can be no doubt that the action of Colonel Baden-Powell in causing the death of Uwinya has had the very best results in ridding the country of the chief obstacle to the peaceful settlement of the Natives and of a most dangerous and plotting man`, the third enclosure being a letter to Baden-Powell of the same date from Val Gielgud, giving his opinion and good reference for Baden-Powell`s actions, plus a letter from Captain Vyvyan to Baden-Powell dated 25th September 1896, notifying him of the court of inquiry set up to investigate the trial and death of Uwini, one page with integral blank and Baden-Powell`s signed autograph response to verso dated 29th September 1896 in which he acknowledges the letter, gives his current movements and suggestions for a suitable date for the inquiry plus an autograph memorandum from Captain Vyvyan to Lieutenant Colonel Paget and his autograph note reply to the same leaf, plus a series of mimeographed extracts from General Orders and copies of telegrams, plus a few typed carbon copies of covering letters from Paget, Vyvyan and Carrington in November 1896, Paget saying at the end of his report, `The order for the trial was signed by Lt. Col. Baden-Powell, and with that authority I was prepared, when on Active Service, to try anybody I was told to. I did not know Lt. Col. Baden-Powell meant to carry out that sentence without reference to the GOC`, mostly folio sheets. For Baden-Powell`s account of this murky affair see his book `The Matabele Campaign`, 1897, pp. 288 ff. Baden-Powell was Frederick Carrington`s Chief of Staff during the Rebellion and gives his opinion on Baden-Powell`s actions on a duplicate of the proceedings of the court of inquiry (but written in ink in another hand), `I am of opinion that the military exigencies of the circumstances in which Lt. Col. Baden-Powell found himself at the time of Uwini`s capture was such as to call for strong measures and subsequent events have, to my mind, clearly proved that the prompt punishment, at his own stronghold, of Uwini as a powerful and notorious instigator of crime and rebellion exercised a very wholesome influence on the surrounding district and undoubtedly expedited its final pacification`. For his good work in the Matabele campaign, Baden-Powell was promoted to Brevet Colonel. Provenance: By descent from Sir Frederick Carrington. (a folder)

* Gillray (James , attrib.). Cheltenham....or the Water drinkers in Motion, a Wind in the rear, c.1800, pen and ink drawing with title in manuscript black ink with three manuscript captions in brown ink, partially laid on card, 265 x 355mm. A typically bawdy Georgian cartoon lampooning the flatulence inducing qualities of the mineral waters available at Cheltenham Spa. The drawing is unsigned and although the style of drawing and the hand writing is certainly in Gillray`s style, there is no record of him ever having produced a caricature of the Pittville pump rooms at Cheltenham. It is of course perfectly possible that this preparatory sketch was never converted into an engraved plate. The image shows signs of earlier mounting and framing, and the old backboard of the frame survives with a Fores Ltd gallery label on its verso, and a 20th century manuscript inscription stating that the paper is `J.Whatman 1804`. This is impossible to authenticate because the drawing is stuck by its margins to later straw board. (1)
