TRANSLATION OF NOTIFICATION.
Be it known to such of our subjects as see this that, whereas the British
and Persian Governments have represented to us that they are desirous of
preventing introduction of arms and ammunition into India and Persia and
that there is reason to think that many are exported from Muscat and taken
to those two abovenamed countries, we have resolved to join them and to assist
them as far as it lies in our power in suppressing this trade in arms and
ammunition between Muscat and India and Persia. A\e there!ore warn (our
subjects) that all the arms and ammunition sent to those two countries will be
confiscated and those engaged in this trade will be punished, as the introduc
tion of arms and ammunition into India and Persia is prohibited by the Gov
ernments of those two countries and therefore illegal.
In future, our Muscat flag will be no protection to vessels carrying the said
arms and ammunition from our dominions to India and Persia. (Ihis is
written ) that it may be known. And salaams.
