The property of a French subject who may die in any part of the
dominions of the Sultan of Muskat, or of a subject of the Sultan of
Muskat who may die in any part of the French dominions, shall be
delivered over to the executor or administrator of the deceased, or, in
default of such executor or administrator, to the respective Consuls of
the contracting parties.
Article VIII.
If a Frenchman shall become bankrupt in the dominions of the
Sultan of Muskat, the French Consul shall take possession of all the
property of such bankrupt, and shall give it up to the creditors of the
bankrupt, to be divided among them. This having been done, the
bankrupt shall be entitled to a full discharge from his creditors, and
he shall not at any time afterwards be required to make up the
deficiency, nor shall any property he may afterwards acquire be
considered liable for that purpose. But the French Consul shall use
his endeavours to obtain for the benefit of the creditors all the properly
of the bankrupt. It shall also be incumbent upon the Consul to ascer
tain that everything possessed by the bankrupt at the time when he
became insolvent has been given up.
Article IX.
If a'subject of the Sultan of Muskat owes a debt to a Frenchman,
the Sultan or his deputies shall urge the former to pay the claim of the

pay a debt due by him to a subject of the Sultan of Muskat.
Article X.
No duty exceeding five per cent, shall be levied on goods imported by
French vessels into the dominions of Syud Sueed bin Sultan, the Sultan
of Muskat. If a vessel of other nations imports any goods into the
territories of the Sultan of Muskat, and pays less duty than five percent.,
the same duty only shall be levied on similar goods imported by a
French vessel into the said territories. A French vessel, after she has
paid the duty of five per cent., shall not be subject to any other charges,
such as anchorage, pilotage, &:c.; nor shall any charge be made on that
part of the cargo which may remain on board a French vessel; but if
the vessel shall go to another part of the dominions of the Sultan of
Muskat, duty shall be levied at five per cent. The abovementioned duty
having once been paid, the goods may be sold, by wholesale or retail,
without paying any further duty. No charge whatever shall be made
on French vessels which may enter any of the ports of the Sultan o
Muskat for the purpose of refitting, or for refreshments, or to inquire
