It having been notified to me by Captain J ones, resident in the Persian Gulf, that
an article was omitted to be inserted in the conventions entered into by the maritime
chiefs of the Arabian coast and Oman with the British Government for the purpose of
prohibiting the importation of, and traffic in, slaves, which convention, on my part
bears date the 22nd Jumadee-ool-awal, 1263 A.H. (8th May, 1847), accordingly J
Sheikh Mahomed-bm-Khaleefa, Chief of Bahrein, do hereby engage and bind myself
(purely out of friendship to the Sircar, and to assist it in effectually attaining the object
it desires) to put into execution the said article.
The article is this :—
Whensoever it shall become known and certain that from any quarter whatsoever
slaves have been brought to my territories, or to any places subject to my authority, I,
of my own free will and accord, will seize the said slaves and deliver them over to the*
British vessels of war. Further, should it be ascertained that slaves have been carried
in any of my vessels or in the vessels of people, my subjects, or dependents, and it
should happen that the Government cruisers did not fall in with the said vessels, then,
no matter where the slaves have been landed, do I hereby bind myself to place an
embargo upon the delinquent boat and her nakhoda until such time as instructions
have been received from the resident at Bushire regarding them.
