Secretary  in  the  Political  and  Secret  Department  of  the  India  Office,  187-189  Information ­
  relative  to  the  joint  office  of  agent  and  consul  held  by  the  representative  of  India
and  Great  Britain  at  Zanzibar,  190-194  Arrangement  that  on  all  matters  connected
with  the  slave  trade,  the  entire  instructions  to  the  agent  should  come  from  the  Foreign
Office,  and  that  the  India  Office  should  have  nothing  to  do  with  it,  195  Statement  in
detail  in  explanation  and  support  of  the  claim  made  by  the  India  Office,  and  eventually
concurred  in  by  the  Foreign  Office,  that  half  the  expense  of  the  Zanzibar  agency  (the  total
being  3,019/.  a  year),  should  be  borne  by  the  Imperial  Exchequer;  comment  upon  the
refusal  of  the  Treasury  to  accede  to  this  arrangement,  195,  196.  215-230.  239,  240.  267,
268.  281.  283.
Explanatory  statement  relative  to  the  circumstances  under  under  which  the  Sultan  of
Zanzibar  is  under  obligation  to  pay  a  subsidy  of  40,000  dollars  a  year  to  the  sovereign
of  Muscat;  usurpations  and  complications  in  Muscat  since  this  arrangement  was  made,
so  that  there  is  a  difference  of  opinion  between  the  Government  of  India  and  the  Imperial
Government  upon  the  question  whether  the  payment  of  the  subsidy  should  be  continued,
197-204.  207.  265.  271-273  Belief  that  if  the  Sultan  of  Zanzibar  were  released  from
the  payment  of  8,000  1.  a  year  to  the  ruler  of  Muscat  he  would  be  willing  to  suppress  the
Zanzibar  slave  traffic,  201.  255,  256  Conclusion  as  to  the  necessity  of  compensating
the  Sultan  of  Zanzibar  for  relinquishing  the  slave  traffic  not  already  prohibited  by  treaty;
belief  as  to  the  sufficiency  of  a  payment  of  8,ooo  /.  a  year  for  the  purpose,  205,  206.  241-256.
  274-277.  281.
Considerable  importance  of  the  trade  of  Zanzibar  with  India  and  Great  Britain,  208-213.
  238  Recommendation  that  the  suppression  of  the  slave  traffic  be  carried  out
gradually  and  concurrently  with  the  introduction  of  free  labour,  213.  238.  241.  251

having  been  notified  to  the  Foreign  Office  by  the  India  Office  that,  as  the  Treasury
decline  to  pay  a  moiety  of  the  expenses  of  the  agency  at  Zanzibar,  instructions  relating  to
the  slave  trade  should  no  longer  be  sent  to  the  agent,  220-224.  260-262.
Very  injurious  effect  of  the  refusal  of  the  Treasury  to  pay  about  1,500/.  a  year  towards
the  Zanzibar  agency  ;  necessity,  however,  of  some  compensation  being  also  paid  to  the
Sultan  for  the  suppression  of  the  slave  traffic,  221-232.  242-256.  277.  281  Circumstance ­
  (d  the  Imperial  Government  now  paying  more  than  3,000/.  a  year  in  respect  of
liberated  slaves  at  Aden  and  Bombay,  234-236  Saving  to  be  effected,  not  only  as
regards  liberated  slaves,  but  in  time  by  the  withdrawal  of  the  squadron,  if  compensation
be"paid  for  the  suppression  of  the  traffic,  234.  248-252.  283.
Expected  objection  by  the  Government  of  India  to  pay  an  increased  sum  towards  the
expenses  of  the  squadron,  257-259  Large  portion  of  the  time  of  the  agent  at  Zanzibar
taken  up  with  sla  ve  trade  matters,  263,  264  Probability  of  the  Sultan  encouraging
the  tiade  with  a  view  to  obtaining  a  subsidy  or  compensation  from  Great  Britain,  265,
266.
Consideration  of  the  question  whether  Muscat  has  not  forfeited  its  claim  to  the  payment ­
  of  8,000Z.  a  year  from  Zanzibar  on  account  of  the  facilities  given  to  the  import  of
slaves  to  Muscat,  269-273  Exceptions  taken  to  certain  recommendations  by  Sir
Leopold  Heath  for  the  purchase  of  Zanzibar;  purchase  and  annexation  are  alike  out  of
the  question,  281,  282  Doubt  as  to  the  number  of  slaves  required  for  legitimate  or
domestic  slavery  in  Zanzibar,  284.
