I am directed by Secretary Sir E. Grey to acknow
ledge the receipt of your letter of the 8th. instant
respecting the right of His Majesty's Ships to search
vessels suspected of carrying arms in the territorial
waters of the Trucial Chiefs.
With regard to the view tentatively held by the
Government of India that the territorial waters of a
Protectorate are in practice regarded as the territori
al waters of the Protecting Power, I am to state for
the information of the Secretary of State for India
that in Sir E. Grey's opinion the same general rale
cannot be applied to all Protectorates, that each case
must be dealt with on its merits and that it is impos
sible to argue from the case of a Protectorate like
Zanzibar for instance to that of the Protectorates of
the Trucial Chiefs
