The dispute arose from the refusal of the Barolong to pay the dogtax to the Mafeking Divisional Council, the Barolong preferring to come under the direct administration of the Department of Native Affairs. They claimed that the imposition of the tax was a direct violation of their rights as given to them by the Treaty of 1884 May (Ba8) and the letter of Sir Sidney Shipyard, 1895 August (Ba13). Includes correspondence, summonses to the trial and evidence given to the commission by Chief Lekoko Montsioa, Stephen Lefenya and Silas Molema.
