of any of the Powers in treaty relations with me, information will be laid
against him to the Consul of the Power, whose subject or protege he may be,
and the aforesaid Consul will be requested to deal with him according to law
and treaty and the spirit of these regulations.
Rule 3. In addition to all or any of the penalties imposed by these
rules, should any trader be found guilty in the proper forum of offending
against the provisions ot rule 1 aforesaid, all arms, ammunition or parts thereof,

that may subsequently be deposited in the Arms Warehouse in his name under
the provisions of rule 4, will, without further sentence of forfeiture, be liable

imported into Maskat territory, will be taken direct to the Arms Warehouse

parts thereof will be required to produce on arrival and furnish to the represent

arms and ammunition and parts thereof, destined for importation into my
