Vide Residency Agent's letter to
Resident, No. 21, dated the
14th February 1906.
warned you on my behalf not to com
mit yourselves without consulting the
Residency to any bargain regarding
fishing for sponges or pearls with a
Greek merchant who was then travelling
in the Gulf.
Some years have passed since then. The Great Government think it is oppor
tune for me to remind you again that it would be altogether disadvantageous to
the interests of all you Chiefs of Oman if any one of you were to grant concessions
to foreigners in connection with the fishing for pearls or sponges.
I am therefore to warn you that you should on no account respond to over
tures from any quarter for concessions for fishing on pearl banks over which you
possess rights without first consulting the Residency through the Residency Agent.
Kindly let me know through the Residency that you have received and under
stood this letter.
