5-A. In regard to subjects of Native States in India, we must read paragraphs
113, 120, 121 and 124 of Major Henderson's Precis of Zanzibar Affiairs,
Chapter VI (Slave Trade), which deals with the right of the Kutchees to hold
slaves and engage in slave traffic. The effect of the proclamation issued by the
Rao of Kutch in 1869 was to place them in the same position as the British

well as the;ir right.
