INTRODUCTION
duly commissioned to request the good offices of tlie Resi
dent in establishing friendly relations between the Amir and
the British Government; to assure him that the Amir
would neither oppose nor injure British subjects residing
within his territories ; and, further, that he would not at
tack the Arab tribes in alliance with the British, especially
those of'Oman, while the customary due from that
principality was punctually paid. These overtures were met
in a corresponding spirit by the Indian authorities, and
though they declined to guarantee the payment of the Mas-

power, were not called upon by any law to repudiate him in
that capacity. The notorious wholesale murder of their
brothers not unfrequently committed by the Ottoman Sul
