NOTICE.
********* x-***********
Be it known to the public that some of the Omanis who
reToelled against the Muscat Government have taken possess*,
ion unlawfully and against the Sharah of gardens belonging
to 8 the Wali Mohammed bin Ahmed and Sheikh Rashid bin
Uzair and robbed their houses of their contents and re
fused to return them to their said owners even after the
mediation of the Great British Government, which mediation
they jtoemselves had first asked and then refused. This
action shows the oppression and violence of. the Omanis
which is against both the Sharah law and the law of reason
and by doing this they have broken the Laws of God and His
prophet. How therefore to punish these oppressors and
their followers, we order the imposition of a penal Zakat
of 25 it on Omani and Sharqi dates and 50^ on pomegranates
which may be brought on to the coast. This is a temporary
order, based against these oppressors and their followers.
Consequently we warn the purchasers of the dates and pome
granates that they should bear in mind while purchasing
these kinds from these aforesaid that they should make
their account accordingly. This is a penal Zakat and is
in no sense an export duty and may be charged at the full
market rate either in cash or kind.
All dates and pomegranates which are exported must
have a certificate sisned ty the Muscat Customs to the
effect that the legal Zakat has heen jl'aid, otherwise if
exported without the said certificate, they may he seized
and confiscated.
As regards the dates brought by the Bani Ghafir ai
May aha and the places of the Bani Bu Ali under the Amir Oi
Jaalan who are allies of the Muscat Government only 5#
Zakat may be taken as before.
