the claim has been proved before them. The possessor, if he makes known the
person who sold him the animals, shall have the right to demand the price from
the seller, and the Government in whose territory the seller is shall look into the
claim of the possessor from whom the animals have been taken, and shall recover
the price from the seller and punish the seller if he is a thief or has obtained the
animals illegally. If the possessor of the animals does not make known the seller,
he shall himself be responsible for his illegal possession of the animals.
4. Blood Money.
Either Government shall collect from a homicide, being its national, blood
money in respect of a person slain belonging to the other Government, provided
that the homicide was not guilty of premeditated aggression, in which case the
law of retaliation applies; and provided that the homicide was not engaged in
lawful self-defence. The blood money shall be calculated according to the Sharia
Law as at present recognised between the Sheikhdom of Koweit and the Kingdom
of Saudi Arabia.
5. Compensation for Losses.
Persons guilty of premeditated acts of aggression, such as raiding or robbery,
shall be obliged to make good all losses suffered by the victims as a result of the
aggression and shall pay the value of animals which have been killed in the fighting,
or which have been looted and have died or been lost while in their possession.
The frontier officer appointed in accordance with Article 3 of the Agreement for
Friendship and Neighbourly Relations who is responsible for the collection and
return of loot, shall likewise collect from the aggressors out of their property
objects equivalent in value to those losses, and shall deliver them together with the
loot as required by Section 1 of this Schedule. The frontier officer of the Govern
ment whose nationals were the victims may collect any evidence which he considers
appropriate regarding the losses and forward it to the frontier officer of the other
Government engaged in collecting the loot.
6. Khidma.
On the return of the looted property or animals nothing shall be deducted
therefrom by the way of Khidma, recompense, wages of herdsmen, or expenses.
If the Government collecting the loot has incurred such expenditure, it is free to
recover it out of the property of the offenders. The recompense, however, of a
person who has found stray camels and taken charge of them until application is
made by their owner shall be calculated at the rate of one gold pound for every
five camels, provided that the finder has given notice of his having found them at
the time of its occurrence and has not attempted to conceal it. The frontier
officer to whom notice is given shall give notice of the fact to the frontier officer of
the other Government.
7. Losses.
The nationals of either country may enter the other country to search for any
of their property which may have been lost or stolen. If the searcher finds
anywhere what he lost or what was stolen from him he shall demand his losses
from the person in whose possession they are. If the latter surrenders them, well
and good; but if not, the searcher shall not have the right to recover them by
force, but shall apply to the nearest Government centre in order to inform those
concerned of the result of his enquiries about his losses or what was stolen from
him. The authority to whom this information is given shall take the necessary
measures to give what is due to the rightful person and to punish the offenders.
