or custom. As the matter did not appear urgent, I poat^SCj
ponad comment on It until i could dlscuaB It with Political*
Agent Muscat. I was myself under the impression that the
provisions of Articles 87 and 88 of the
order in Council
A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council.
would meet the vast mjorlty of oases, and that the pub-
Uoation of a special King's Regulation speoifloally apply
ing the Arms Warehouse Rules would merely draw attention
to the fact that other foreign subjects were not liable
to any specific penalty tor a breach of the rules, without
any counterbalancing advantage. Major Haworth, however,
lays considerable stress on the fact that Articles 27 & 26
wculd only apply to the actual lmpo»terB, while the mere
possession of arms, contrary to rule 2 of the Gultan 9 s
rules, could not be punished. This is a good point; at the
same time I consider that the above objection to the pub
lication of a specific King's Regulation has great force.
Major Haworth 1 s draft King's Regulation is free from this
objectionj at the same time it is very sweeping in its scope
and I think the law officers would take the view that if so
general a power is to bo conferred upon the political Re
sident its proper place is in the body of the Order in
Council and it could hardly be properly conferred by Re
gulation. There would seom to be no objection to the power
in itself, which is Impliedly contained in the vague pro
visions of Article 82. That Article is sweeping enough as
regards the
Political Resident
A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency.
's powers of interpretation,
but is silent as to the means by which those powers are to
be translated into action. In my opinion, the best solution
of the difficulty would be an amendment of Article 82, as
in the draft attached. If you consider that such an amend
ment has little chance of being taken up at present, I
would recommend that the whole matter should be dropped,and
that we should rely on the deportation sections to enable
us to deal drastically with any case of improper possession
arms on a scale indicating an intention to traffic in them:
The question of abetment is covered by Section 109 Indian
penal Code read with Section 4 (o) Criminal procedure Code
