Article VIII.—A Vakeel of the Guicowar
Government to be stationed at Kaira, and
wherever there is a warehouse of the British
Government, and opium to be supplied for
the Guicowar districts through his means.
No opium to be supplied by other means to
merchants and ryots.
made, except on the very borders of the
Guicowar territories, in small villages which
might be remote from a warehouse of the
Guicowar, and need not therefore be guarded
against. It seems to be one great advantage
o o o
of the price of opium being fixed at the same
standard in the British and Guicowar dis
tricts, that it will supersede the necessity of
attempting to prevent these importations,
and afford neither motive for fraud on the
part of the merchant, nor cause for restraint
and severity on the part of Government.
VIII. The first part of this Article is
the same as the first part of Article II.
The second part of it will be answered by
the answer of Government to the second
part of Article VII.
Baroda
Residency
An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India.
, 29M September 1820.
(Signed) Charles Norris,
Acting Resident.
Miwfe, Mth October. —Re-perused the letter from Mr. Acting Secretary Brown to the
Supreme Government, dated the 17th of October, recorded in the Public Depatment, under
date the 19th of November 1805.
Ordered, that Mr. Norris be informed that the Governor in Council is not aware of any
objection to the adoption of any of the propositions brought forward by the Guicowar Go
vernment connected with the object^of prohibiting the traffic in Malwa opium, nor to the
manufacture of opium in the Guicowar territories to an extent sufficient fur the consumption
of His Highness' territories.
The seventh Article does not appear objectionable: all opium attempted to be secretly
carried from the one territory to the other should be confiscated. The property purchased
in either could easily be protected by dustucks, permitting the free passage of it to its
destination.
