News brought by a corporal and two men sent out to look for the body, that they had first found the wagon and afterwards a foot-spoor. This they had followed and found some portions of the body, with some silver and a few gold buttons, beyond the "Swarte berg " at the "Berg river". Upon that they had returned to Vissershok and charged the two slaves with the crime, who confessed it.
