but the trade between the dominions of Her Britannic Majesty and
those of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat shall be perfectly free,
' subject to the abovementioned duty upon goods imported, and to no
other. And His Highness the Sultan of Muskat hereby engages not to
permit the establishment of any monopoly or exclusive privilege of sale
within his dominions, except in the articles of ivory and gum copal, on
that part of the East Coast of Africa from the port of Tangate, situated
in about 5| degrees of south latitude, to the port of Quiloa, laying in
about 7 degrees south of the equator, both ports inclusive ; but in all
other ports and places in His Highness' dominions there shall be no
monopoly whatever, but the subjects of Her Britannic Majesty shall be
at liberty to buy and sell with perfect freedom from whomsoever and to
whomsoever they choose, subject to no other duty by Government than
that before mentioned.
Article XI,
If any dispute should arise in the dominions of His Highness the
Sultan of Muskat as to the value of goods which shall be imported by
British merchants, and on which the duty of five per cent, is to be levied,
the Custom-master, or other authorised officer acting on the part of the
Government of His Highness the Sultan of Muskat, shall be entitled to
demand one-twentieth part of the goods in lieu of the payment of five
per cent., and the merchant shall be bound to surrender the twentieth
part so demanded, whenever, from the nature of the articles, it may be
practicable to do so; but the merchant having done so, shall be subject
to no further demand on account of customs on the other nineteen-twen-
tieths of those goods in any part of the dominions of His Highness the
Sultan of Muskat to which he may transport them; but if the Custom-
master should object to levy the duty in the manner aforesaid, by taking
one-twentieth part of the goods, or if the goods should not admit of
being so divided, then the point in dispute shall be referred to two
competent persons, one chosen by the Custom-master and the other by
the importer, and a valuation of the goods shall be made ; and if the
referees shall differ in opinion, they shall appoint an arbitrator, whose
decision shall be final, and the duty shall be levied according to the
value thus established. .
