they themselves preferred^ either be handed over to the British author
ities for repatriation or allowed to remain in the Ottoman dominions
under sufficient precautions against their re-enslavement.
Treaty of These arrangements were made regular and authoritative by a
?sRr ^ anuarj treaty concluded at Constantinople on the 25th of January 1880 between
the British Government and the Porte. By this agreement the Turkish
Government undertook to prohibit the importation of African slaves
into any part of the Ottoman dominions^ and not to allow the exporta
tion of suchj except as domestic servants accompanying their masters
or mistresses^ in which case they should be provided with certificates.
Arrangements were made for bringing to justice persons other than
Ottoman subjects who might commit slavery offences in Turkish
territory; and it was laid down that all slaves found in possession of
dealers should be liberated^ after which the Porte should take adequate
measures to ensure their remaining free and being properly cared for.
British cruisers were authorised to visit, search, and, if necessary,
detain, merchant vessels proved to be or suspected of being concerned in
the African slave trade, these rights to be exercised only in the Red
Sea, in the Gulf of Aden, on the Coast of Arabia, in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
,
OH the East Coast of Africa and in Ottoman maritime waters where
there were no constituted authorities; and vessels detained were to be
handed over to the nearest or most convenient Ottoman authority for
trial, the slaves being delivered to the nearest Ottoman or other
authorities with a view to securing their freedom. On the requisition
of a British naval or consular officer the authorities at an Ottoman port
should be obliged to search, and deal with according to the results of the
search, any vessel which such British officer might denounce as
engaged in the African slave trade. Merchant vessels under the
British flag were made liable, in analogous circumstances and in the
same localities, to search and detention by Turkish authorities or
cruisers; but vessels seized, with the cargo and crew, were to be
transferred to the nearest British authority for disposal, while the
slaves captured remained at the disposal of the Turkish authorities. In
cases of wrongful seizure suitable compensation was to be paid by the
one Government to the other. To prevent undue interference by
British cruisers with Turkish vessels manned wholly or in part by
slaves, such vessels were to be provided with papers showing the number
of slaves carried ,* and > if a greater number of slaves than that certified
were found on any vessel, the latter should be liable to detention.
