Temporary suspension of the Zanzibar subsidy, 1866-68.
It may be mentioned here that the Sultan of Zanzibar, on becoming-
aware of the accession of Salim and the circumstances thereof, attempted
to evade continued payment of the annual subsidy decreed in 1861; he
argued that the arrangement was personal to Saiyid Thuwaini, and that in
any case he could not be expected to continue payment to a parricide.
His first contention was disallowed by the Government of India, on the
ground that it was clearly opposed to the terms of Lord Canning's
award ; and the other difficulty was met by the Government of India
undertaking to receive and transmit the amount due by the Sultan of
Zanzibar to the Sultan of 'Oman, the necessity for direct dealings
between Majid and Salim being thus obviated. Eventually the outstand
ing obligations were discharged by Majid in the spring of 1868.
It may be noted incidentally that, in 1867, the
Government of Bombay
From c. 1668-1858, the East India Company’s administration in the city of Bombay [Mumbai] and western India. From 1858-1947, a subdivision of the British Raj. It was responsible for British relations with the Gulf and Red Sea regions.
found it necessary to warn the Sultan of Zanzibar against presenting
munitions of war as gifts to subjects of his relation the Sultan of 'Oman,—
an abuse which did not again become clamant till nearly thirty years
afterwards.

A final upheaval against his authority now terminated the short and
unhappy reign of Salim. On the 23rd of September 1808 'Azzan-bin-
Qais of Rustaq made himself master of Barkah, on the 29 th he captured
Matrah, and on the 1 st of October he suddenly occupied the town of
Masqat while Salim, leaving his valuables to become the spoil of the
enemy, hurriedly took refuge in one of the harbour forts.
Colonel Pelly, the British Resident in the Gulf, who was present in
the harbour, suggested an armistice until the wishes of the Government
of India could be ascertained; but 'Azzan declined to wait, and com
menced operations against the fort in which Salim still held out. No
active part was taken in the contest by H.M.S. a Vigilant" beyond
placing a rocket-party in one of the forts to prevent the removal by
