- Title:
- ‘Muscat. Relative to an Act of Parliament for carrying into effect the agreement between Her Majesty’s Government and His Highness the Imam of Muscat, for the more effectual suppression of the Slave Trade.’
- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence and minutes, which are enclosures to an extract of a Political Letter from the Government of Bombay to the East India Company Court of Directors, dated 23 June 1849. A copy of this letter can be found at IOR/F/4/2343/123024.
The item relates to a new Act of British Parliament passed on 5 September 1848, which carries into effect the recent agreement between Her Majesty and the Imaum [Imām] of Muscat for the suppression of the 'slave trade' [trade in enslaved people]. Instructions on how to enact the provisions of the Act are provided by the Governor of Bombay. A mistake in the Act – that Captain Atkins Hamerton is referred to as belonging to the Royal Navy rather than the Bombay Native Infantry – is also discussed.
As well as numerous members of the Government of Bombay Council, the item also contains material authored by the Government of India.
The title page of the item contains the following references: 'Bombay Political Department', 'Draft No. 189 of 1850', 'Vol: 3', 'Collection No 1 of No 64', and 'Examiner's Office'.
