rated Muscat,
4"tli Hoveniber 1910.
After Gompliinents.
I have "the honour t>o refer "bo "the
matter of the new levy of export duty about which' some con
versation have taken place between Your Highness and myself
and the Agency Dragoman.
The British subjects at IQiaburah have complained
against the export duties now levied under Your Highness *
proclamation of 24th Shaaban 1S28 (SOth August 1G10). They
particularly refer to the enhanced duty on dates and ghee.
But in this connection I beg to call Your Highness'
attention to Articles 6 and V of the Treaty of Commerce etc.,
of 1891 between the British Governmer:t and Your TTighness, and
to observe that to levy the new duty from British subjects
without previous reference to the British Government does not
appear to be in accordance with the terms of the Treaty.
Accept an. expression of my high esteem and consideration.
