Engagement entered into by the Nukeeb of Maculla for the Abolition of
the Slave Trade, —1863.
In the name of the Most Merciful God, and Him we implore !
The reason of Writing this Bond is that, influenced by motives of humanity
and by a desire to conform to : the principles on which the great English Govern
ment is conducted, we lend a willing ear to the proposals of our sincere friend,
Brigadier William Marcus Coghlan, Governor of Aden ; that we shall covenant
with him to abolish and prohibit the export or import of slaves from or to any
part of our territory to any other place in Africa or in Asia, or elsewhere.
Therefore I, whose name and seal are set to this Bend, do in the sight of God
and of men solemnly proclaim my determination to prohibit the export or import
of slaves by every means in my power. I will neither export nor import any
myself, nor will I permit any subjects to do so; and any vessel belonging to my
eubjects found carrying slaves shall be seized and confiscated by me or by any
ship belonging to Her Majesty the Queen of England, and the slaves shall be
released. Peace!
This covenant is to have effect at the expiration of one year from this date.
Peace !
Silah Mahomed.
At Maculla, 14th May 1863.
W. M. Coghlan,
Political Residoit, Aden.
