• There are many treaties and engagements
between the British Government and the Rulers of Muscat,
but, with the exceptions noted below, they are
generally of the style executed with a Ruler of
unqualified independence, Moreover the Sultan of Muscat *
has Commercial Treaties not only with the British
Government but also with the U.S.A. (1833) and i’rance
(1844), by virtue of which both countries have at times
maintained Consular representatives in Muscat, and a
commercial Declaration with Holland (1877).
Oman (Muscat) is, in theory, a fully
independent state; and on 10th March 1862 England and
France executed a declaration engaging reciprocally to
respect the independance of the Sultan of Muscat ( and
the Sultan of Zanzibar), nevertheless the relations
obtaining in practice between His Majesty’s Government
( or the Government of India) and Muscat very closely
approach those between the Government of India and any
Indian State.
The instruments which can be regarded as in
some degree infringing the independence of Muscat are
(a) Treaty of 1873 (Slave Trade) g iving British war-
%
ships the right to search and seize Muscat ships suspectecl
of carrying slaves.
(b) Art.7 of the Commercial Treaty of 1891 which forbids
the prohibiUon of the importation or exportation of any
article, or the imposition of export duties,except with
he consent of the British Government.
c) Agreement of 20th March 1891 whereby the Sultan
II
pledges himself his heirs and successors never to cede
