35. Muscat Infantry R. A. Walker completed his term of duty as
t ommandant of the Corps and left to rejoin his regiment on the 23rd April. Owing
to financial strigency no Commandant was appointed to succeed him, but it was
arranged with the Council of Ministers that at the end of the year Captain Alban.
Indian Political Department, should take up the duties of Commandant as well as
financial Adviser at the beginning of 1932.
The Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. guard was furnished from this Corps.
36 Slave Traffic. Twenty-two slaves took refuge at the Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. during the
year all of whom were manumitted after enquiries.
The comments made in last year’s Report may here be repeated :—
“ It should be noted that there is no question of the slaves—while with
their masters being kept in durance, shakled with chains, etc.
y* 1 V ie C01ltrar y they are generally used for work far removed from
the houses of their masters in date gardens, pearling and so forth.
This means that the great majority of the slaves have ample oppor
tunity for leaving their masters should they wish to, and for seeking
manumission at this Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. , and the fact that such manumission can
be obtained is now widely known throughout the State. ”
