History

A Magistrate’s Court was established at Glen Grey as from 1 May 1879 (Government Gazette No 5896 dated 25 March 1879, Proclamation No 43 dated 24 March 1879). According to Government Notice No 1001 dated 20 September 1880 the seat of the magistracy was transferred to Cacadu and approved of the latter place being called Lady Frere (Government Gazette No 6060 dated 21 September 1880). Before the establishment of the magistracy an officer styled as the Clerk in Charge was stationed at Glen Grey. For practical reasons the documents created by this officer have been included in this inventory.

The Magistrate of Lady Frere was also appointed Native Commissioner by Government Notice No 1865 of 1928, published in Government Gazette No 1734 dated 26 October 1928.
