APPENDIX TO EEPOKT FROM SELECT COMMITTEE 
Appendix, No. 8. 
From His Excellency Sir George Clerk, k.c.b., Governor of Bombay, to His Hio-hness 
Syud.Bargliasli bin Saeed bin Sultan, at Bombay. 
A. C.—I WRITE to inform your Highness that after a careful review of your case, and 
in consideration of your solemn promise never again to disturb the peace at Zanzibar, I 
have resolved, with the concurrence of the Government of India, to recommend you to 
the clemency and kind consideration of his Highness Syud Majeed, the recognised Sultan 
of Zanzibar. This intervention on your behalf is exercised in the sincere hope that you 
will hereafter behave yourself loyally towards his Highness Syud Majeed as your brother 
and sovereign. Should you at any future time disappoint this expectation by stirrino- up 
strife at Zanzibar, or by opposing your brother’s lawful authority, you are hereby warned 
not to look for any protection from the British Government or its representatives. 
In order that the efforts which are being made in your behalf may not fail with his 
Highness Syud Majeed, it will be prudent that you should not proceed to Zanzibar for the 
present. I entertain the sincere hope that your reconciliation with his Hio-hness Syud 
Majeed may be speedily effected, and that, when once made, it will be lasting, conducive 
alike to the peace and welfare of the family of your lamented father Syud Saeed, and to 
the present and future prosperity of the Zanzibar sovereignty. This is my sincere desire 
and the sincere desire of the British Government. Salaam. ' ’
