The item relates to a discrepancy between the English and Arabic versions of a treaty signed between Captain Moresby and the Imam of Muskat [Muscat, also rendered in text as Maskat] in 1822, regarding the obligations of the Imam to assist in the seizure of British subjects engaging in the ‘slave trade’ [trade in enslaved people]. The item contains correspondence between the Imam and Captain Atkins Hamerton, HM Consul and the Company’s Agent in the Dominions of the Imam of Muskat, which relates to attempts to clarify this discrepancy.
