authorized to use every possible mode for the recovery of their demands, taking
care to do so in communication and with the knowledge of the ruler or governor
of the place, who is to consider it as his duty to grant, on such occasion, every aid
in his power. And should any merchants of Persia be in India, attending to their
mercantile concerns, the officers of the English Government are not to prevent
them carrying on their affairs, but to aid and favour them, and the above-mentioned
merchants are to recover their debts and demands in the mode prescribed by the

Article 4.
If any person in the empire of Persia die indebted to the English Government,
the ruler of the place must exert his power to have such demand satisfied before

as are necessary for the transaction of their affairs ; and they are authorised to
punish such, in cases of misconduct, in the manner they judge most expedient,
provided such punishment does not extend to life or limb ; in such cases the punish
ment to be inflicted by the ruler or governor of the place.
Article 5.
The English are at liberty to build houses and mansions in any of the ports or
cities of Persia that they choose, and they may sell or rent all such houses or man
sions at pleasure. And should ever a ship belonging to the English Government
be in a damaged state in any of the ports of Persia, or one of Persia be in that condi
tion in an English harbour, the Chiefs and rulers of the ports and harbours of the
respective nations are to consider it as their duty to give every aid to refit and
repair vessels so situated. And if it happens that any of the vessels of either nation
are sunk or shipwrecked in or near the ports or shores of either country, on such
occasions whatever part of the property is recovered shall be restored to their
owners or their heirs, and a just hire is to be allowed by the owners to those who
recover it.
Final Article.
Whenever any native of England or India, in the service of the English Govern
ment, resident in Persia, wishes to leave that country, he is to suffer obstruction
from no person, but to be at full liberty to do so, and to carry with him his property.
The Articles of the Treaty between the two States are fixed and determined.
That person who turns from God turns from his own soul.
