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.  '  ’
