Sultan of Muscat from the jurisdiction of the
Sultan by the grant of Prench flags or papers,
and the practice which prevailed up to June 1900
of making such grants trenches on the indepen*
dence of the Sultan.
4. No subject of the Sultan, by accepting Prench
papers or flags, acquires any immunity from the
Sultan's jurisdiction in the territories or territorial
waters of Oman either for himself or for the crew
of any ship commanded or owned by him or for any
member of his family or for any of his employes,
5. France should, with all reasonable dispatch,
erase from its marine registers all native vessels
owned by subjects of the Sultan of Muscat, and,
in co-operation with the Sultan, should take steps
to obtain the surrender of all Prench flags and
papers now held by any such subjects.
6. In all cases in which France still claims as
subjects or prot^g&g any owner or captain of a
native vessel hailing from Oman, she should, with
all reasonable dispatch, furnish to the Sultan any
proofs on which she claims that such owner or
captain is not a subject of the Sultan, but is a
subject or proteg^ of Prance.
