FREDERICK PEEL.

Ordered, by The House of Commons, to be Printed, 27 February 1852.

RETURN of the WHITE and COLOURED POPULATION of the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope, in the several Districts of the Eastern and Western Divisions, and also of British Kaffraria.

In the return furnished by the municipality no distinction has been made between the white and coloured population of Cape Town.

†The number of the coloured population cannot be accurately ascertained, but it is supposed to exceed that given in this return. From their wandering and unsettled mode of life, the coloured population of both the Western and Eastern Divisions cannot be ascertained with any accuracy.

Hope, in the several Districts of the Eastern
