I have had the honour of receiving Your
Highness' letter of the 14th November (11th Zil-Qaexi) regard
ing the new duty on the Latineh Coast.
In the first place I beg to observe that I received
a complaint from some British subjects regarding the new dutie
on the Eatineh Coast before I received any copy of Your High
ness * notification on the subject. On receiving the complaint
I at once sent the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. Dragoman with a message to Your
Highness on the subject, and it was only after I had done this
that I received on 10th September a copy of your notification
of August 50th (24th Shaaban lbP.8). I then made some more
enquiries from Khabura, but when I heard the result Your High
ness was away. I awaited Your Highness'returr in order to
have an opportunity of discussing the matter before making any
report to Government. On your return I lost no time in point
ing out to Yout? Highness that in my opinion the export duties
were not allowed by Articles 0 and 7 of the Treaty of Commerce
of 1891. It- will be seen from the above that the duties were
levied before I had any opportunity of seeing the notification
much less of accepting it, had I the power to accept it -
which I have not got.
In regard to Your Highness' remarks about the time
of the Treaty having expired, I beg to call Your- Highness♦
attention to Section 26 of the said Treaty in which it is
written
