the Government of India under much the same conditions as formerly, but, ofmodified
perhaps, with somewhat less readiness. In 1876 the Government of India
declined to undertake the custody of Hamud the Jahafi, whom the Sultan
had arrested and wished to have confined in an Indiau jail; and in 1877
they refused to lend the services of a ship of war for the recovery of
Suwaiq, which Turki then considered as good as lost on account of the
disloyalty of the governor. In 1880, at the request of the Sultan and to
prevent the recipient from making a political use of the money, a sum of
over $8,000, realised at the instance of the Indian Government on account
of some rights of inheritance which 'Abdul 'Aziz possessed at Zanzibar,
was paid over by instalments instead of in a lump sum. Implements of
war and military stores were supplied to Turki from India at various times,
some gratis and others on payment; and in 1883 the Resident was
authorised to assist him, unofficially, in obtaining drill instructors for his
Baluch and African retainers. On at least three occasions written

One other phase of British relations remains to be dealt with, namely
the protection, during the period under consideration, of British subjects
in 'Oman and the vindication of their just rights : such matters, in
consequence of the extreme weakness about this time of the Sultan s
government, were far from easy of settlement.
