196 BOOTCHUANA 
Malioomoo-Peloo, to be revenged on Mateebe 
for this conduct, stopped some Barrolongs, on 
their way with merchandise to New Lattakoo, 
and made them dispose of their property to his 
people. On hearing of this occurrence, Mateebe 
sent them notice, that if they persisted in such 
conduct, though he had given over commandoes, 
he should certainly come and attack them. 
Since which time Mahoomoo-Peloo has not at- 
tempted to interrupt traffic with New Lattakoo. 
A Griqua lately went to Old Lattakoo with 
beads, and exchanged them for cattle. On his 
return home he stopped at New Lattakoo, when 
Mateebe heard of the transaction, he told the 
Griqua that he would not permit a repetition of 
the practice ; that the Griquas must first bring 
their beads to him, when he would make an offer 
for them, and should they not be satisfied with it, 
nor with what any of his people offered, they 
might then go to Laheisey, and his people, but 
he wished to deprive of all privileges Mahoomoo- 
Peloo, and the people with him, because they 
would not remove to the Krooman River. 
Laheisey, and the other chiefs around, court 
the friendship of Mateebe, principally, it is 
thought, because of his connection with white 
men.
