Papers Relating to the Transvaal, volume 7, 1899. Letter 62: "May 4th. Mrs. Appelbe, a British subject, wife of the Wesleyan Minister at Fordsburg, Johannesburg, and daughter of Mr. John Holden, J.P., of Folkestone, who was murderously assaulted by a gang of men on Friday at Langlaagte, died yesterday. Mr. Wilson, who was with Mrs. Appelbe at the time, is recovering. No arrests have been made." Letter 56: "Wesleyan Missionary Society to Colonial Office. (Received May 9, 1899) [Answered by No. 59.]Wesleyan Mission House, Sir, Bishopsgate Street Within, London, May 8, 1899. On behalf of the Wesleyan Missionary Society I beg to bring under your notice the following most distressing occurrence. On Friday, April 28th, Mrs. Appelbe the wife of the Rev. R. F. Appelbe, Wesleyan Missionary, residing at Fordsburg, Johannesburg, in the South African Republic, was going to church when she was set upon by some miscreants, European or native is not yet clearly known, but probably native, and so brutally treated that she died from her injuries on the Tuesday following. Mrs. Appelbe was the daughter of John Holder, Esq., J.P., of Folkestone, and her terrible death has not only caused sorrow and misery to her husband and friends, but has also caused alarm and indignation throughout our church in the Transvaal and in this country. A correspondent, recently returned from Johannesburg, and who has lived there some time, declares that the Boer policemen and officials are useless for the purposes of detection and punishment of crime. Under these circumstances, and for protection of our missionaries and their families, I have the honour to request, respectfully and earnestly, that instructions may be given to the Representative of Great Britain in the South African Republic to make rigorous and searching inquiry into this terrible and most painful case."
