* Matabeleland - Trial of Baden-Powell. An archive of printed and manuscript papers relating to a court of inquiry set up to investigate the circumstances connected with the trial by Lieutenant Colonel Baden-Powell, and subsequent execution, of the Maholi Chief Uwini at Uwini`s mountain on 13th September 1896, including an autograph report signed from Gerald H. Upton to Captain P.H. van Niekerk dated 11th September 1896, concerning the build up to and the capture of Chief Uwini, a three page report from the day following signed by Captain van Niekerk giving details of action on the 9th, 10th and 11 September where he had captured Chief Uwini, `I called to the chief to come out promising to spare his life [the last five words underlined in red at a later date] or threatening to shoot him if he refused to do so. He came out shortly afterwards finding he was cornered`, together with the form of proceedings for Field General Court Martial comprising four printed leaves completed in manuscript and five related additional manuscript leaves including a schedule and an order for the assembly of a Field General Court Martial (marked G), various signatures including those of the Court Martial President Major H.M. Ridley, the final page signed by Baden-Powell, plus a four-page carbon copy of an autograph letter by Baden-Powell dated 13th September 1896, reporting `I have taken another step, which I hope you will not disapprove of - viz - trying Uweena by Court Martial. 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)
