with the terms of their agreements v,dwhl^'agreemenTs
are well known to you.
My Government has agreed to the action of the
Grovernment of H # H« the Sultan in the case of the penal zakat
and has published a notification to their own subjects to this
effect, which fact should be well known to you#
As you yourself know my G-overnment never interfere
in religious matters#
The G-reat and Glorious Government has always been
anxious for the peace and prosperity of Oman and that the
present unsatisfactory state of affairs should cease. Therefore
in spite of the insincere action of the tribes over the Sib
negotiations, if fully authorised representatives of the tribes
of Oman meet the political Agent at Sib before the 15th August
and return the property which they have psssesodd, and should
they listen to the advice of the Political Agent, the Political
Agent on behalf of the Great and Glorious Government will
exercise his good offices to procure a lasting agreement.
The political Agent will however not interfere in
any way and will hold no discussion unless this property is
firat returned, as after what has occured it is impossible
for the British Govemrant to trust the sincerity and the
good will of the Omani tribes unless they should show clearly
their good and peaceful intentions.
