1. The great majority of the uitlander population consists of British subjects who have no share in the government.
2. Petitions of the uitlanders to the Transvaal government have either failed or have been scornfully rejected.
3. Instead of redressing uitlander grievances, the Transvaal government, after the Jameson raid, passed laws making their position more irksome—i.e., the immigration of aliens act, the press law, the aliens expulsion law. The immigration act was suspended at the insistence of the British government, but the others remain in force.
4. The Transvaal government exercises the power of suppressing publications devoted to the interests of British uitlanders.
5. British subjects are expelled from the Transvaal without the right of appeal to the high court.
6. The promise of municipal government for the city of Johannesburg has been kept in appearance only. There are 1,039 burghers resident [[227]]of Johannesburg, and 23,503 uitlanders, but the law giving each ward of the city two members of the council also requires that one of them must be a burgher, and the Burgomaster, who is appointed by the government, has the casting vote.
7. The city of Johannesburg is menaced by forts occupied by strong Boer garrisons.
8. The uitlanders of Johannesburg are denied the right to police their own city.
9. Trial by jury is a farce, as uitlanders can be tried by burghers only.
10. The uitlanders are deprived of political representation; are taxed beyond the requirements of the Transvaal government.
