No. 808. British Consulate, Muscat,
Sir, 8th June 1911.
In continuation of this Office Despatch No. 476, dated the
4th April 1911,1 have the honour to forward, for favour of your approval,
a draft regulation under Article I. of the Muscat Order in Council, 1867.
2. This regulation has been drawn up in consultation with the
leading native merchants, British Indian subjects, to meet the difficulty
of conflict of evidence that has arisen in practice as regards presentation
and payment of hundis. A hundi is a document payable to bearer and
resembling, though not exactly, a cheque or bill of exchange.
3. If this regulation is fortunate enough to meet with your approval,
I have the honour to request that, if possible, I may be favoured with
50 printed copies of the same which should include a copy of the letter
conveying your approval. I would further ask that similar printed
copies of the regulations forwarded for approval under cover of Major
Trevor's Nos. 399 and 426, dated 21st March 1911, and No. 476, dated
4th April 1911, might, if approved, also be supplied to me.
I have, &c.,
The Right Hon. S. G. Knox,
Sir Edward Grey, Bart., M. P., Major.
