The Act was to come into force on the 2nd March 1892. It came into force
actually on 2nd April 1892. The French Government had made certain reserva
tions with regard to the articles conceding the right of search of vessels, which are
the most effectively important part of the Act so far as regards the provisions for
the suppression of the sea-borne Slave Trade.
15. Forms were prescribed by the Government of India under the Act in
Secret e, March 1893, Nos. 317-345 (Nos. their letters to the Governments of Bombay,
342.343). Madras, Bengal and Burma (Nos. 1481-E.
and 1482-E., dated 9th August 1892 for
(1) License to carry the British flag granted under Article XXXII.
(2) List of crew granted under Article XXXV,
(3) List of negro passengers granted under Article XXXVI.
(iii) Right of vessels of Native States in India to fly the British flag under the opera
tions of the Brussels Act.
16. The above question was first raised in 1888, and was finally determined
after the Brussels Act came into force.
17. In 1888, in their letter No. 1588, dated the 2nd March 1888, the Bombay

India on the subject of the rights and obli
gations of the owners and crews of vessels trading with foreign countries, who
are subjects of Native States in subordinate alliance with Her Majesty ; and
made the following suggestions :—
(1) " The most obvious solution of the difficulty seems to be distinct recognition of
vessels, belonging to the subjects of the maritime or other States in subordinate alliance
with Her Majesty, and plying beyond the local limits of those States, as British vessels
which must be registered at a British post" (paragraph 7).
{2) n In order to enable the Indian Government to provide Indian ships of Native
States with the requisite safeguards, it ought to be empowered to issue certificates, such as
are issued under Her Majesty's
Order in Council
A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council.
at Zanzibar, to the owners of such ships,
and this would require fresh legislation '' (paragraph 8).
18. The Government of India's reply (No. 2819-!., dated the 1 ith July 1888)
pointed out that the questions discussed appeared to have been raised only in
connection with Kutch ships and Kutch subjects and added " until His Highness
the Rao requests that Kutch vessels may be brought under British Indian law,
it would seem to the Government of India undesirable to move in the matter of
their registration as to take measures with a view to bringing the crews under
British jurisdiction."
19. In Government of India's No. 1064.E., dated the 21st May 1891, the
internal a., june 1891, Nos. 15 -19, Bombay Government was asked for their
