the crews of such vessels or who belonged to the families of such
owners or masters, did not enjoy in consequence of that fact any
right of exterritoriality which could exempt them from the
sovereignty, especially from the jurisdiction, of His Highness
the Sultan of 'Oman.
The award, it will be seen, was substantially in favour of the British
claims on all important points, and it left little for subsequent determination
except the number of individual vessels entitled to fly the French flag
in accordance with the conditions laid down. It may be added here
that, though the Sultan had authorised the British Government to present
the case against France on his behalf as well as on their own, the French
objected to the association of his name with that of the British Govern
ment, and the point was accordingly waived; consequently the Sultan was
not a party to the case beyond the preliminary stages.
Major W. Grey, the British Consul at Masqat, and M. Laronee, the
French Yice-Consul,—the latter of whom had been in Europe during the un( j er the
proceedings at the Hague,-weie next instructed by their respective
Governments to co-operate for the purpose of bringing the award ot the
Tribunal into effect. It was easily settled between them that a procla
mation by the Sultan to his subjects would be the best means of making
the terms of the award known in 'Oman ; but, in regard to a list of persons
entitled to possess the French flag, which they had been ordered to draw
up in consultation with one another, they were unable to arrive at any
agreement. In the view of M. Laronce the continued use of the French
flag was permissible under the award in the case of 22 owners and 46
vessels; whereas, according to the information of Majoi Gie}, the
figures were only 14 and 18, respectively. Ultimately, on ^ e
of August 1906, His Majesty's Government decided, as an act of friend
ship, to accept the list of the French Vice-Consul without further
question and to concede the transference of the French flag 10m any
vessel lost, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of to another vesse
of the same owner, provided only that the number of vessels authorised
to fly the French flag should not be increased in the case o any ownei,
In the opinion of His Majesty's Government every 'Omam subject
under the French flag must on landing in 'Oman become liable to the
jurisdiction of the Sultan, and crimes committed at sea under ie icnc
flag should not therefore be tried by the French Yice-Consul a
Masqat; but no objection could be raised to the temporary an mg o
accused persons in such cases under the orders of the Frenc ice- on
for the purpose of despatch before French courts elsew ere.
