Bombay Secretariat Records.
The circumstances under which Great Britain concluded the Commercial
Treaty of 1839 and France its treaty of 1844, with the Imam, are not related
in either the Bombay Secretariat or the Foreign Department Records. The
Treaty of 1839 was entered into by the Foreign Office in London in direct
communication with the Imam at Zanzibar, while the Treaty of 1844 was
concluded by the Imam with France after consulting the English Foreign
Office through Her Majesty's Consul at Zanzibar, not through the Indian
or Bombay Governments—(See Colonel Miles* Historical Sketch of Seyyid
