and may require accounts to be delivered at fixed times of the firearms and ammunition sold and remaining in stock respectively. 11.

Thereafter a rent of 1 anna for each complete fice-arm, or each part of any incomplete fire-arm, and 2 annas for each packet of ammunition, will be payable for every month during which the same is stored. 12. For the purpose of cleaning any fire-arms deposited in a public warehouse, access, at reasonable times, to be fixed by the Consular officer, will be given to the owner or his agent. Such cleaning may be done at the owner's request by the persons in charge of the warehouse at reasonable charges, to be fixed by the Consular officer, with the approval of the Consul-General. 13. A permit for withdrawal shall not be granted until all rent for storage and all charges for cleaning are fully paid, and where any such rent or charges are in arrear and unpaid for a period of six months, the fire-arms or ammunition may be destroyed or otherwise disposed of as the Consular officer, with the approval of the Consul-General, may direct. 14. Any person at the commencement of these Regulations possessing any fire-arms within the Protectorate shall, within such time as may be fixed by the Consul-General by a Proclamation in this behalf, bring the same to a public warehouse or other place mentioned in the Proclamation, when the following procedure will be observed: (a.) If the owner be a person to whom a permit to possess firearms may be given under these Regulations, the fire-arm shall be stamped and registered in like manner as is required in these Regulations in the case of fire-arms deposited in a public warehouse; (b.) If the owner be not a person to whom a permit to possess fire-arms may be given under these Regulations, the fire-arm will be retained by the Consular officer. In certain cases a small compensation, at rates to be fixed in each case by the Consular officer, with the approval of the Consul-General, may be granted to persons who bring in their fire-arms within the period fixed by the Proclamation, when the same are retained by the Consular officer. 15. Any fire-arm not brought in as herein provided shall be deemed to be possessed in contravention of these Regulations. 16. Arms of precision, and any ammunition suitable to or intended for them, shall not be sold, transferred, bought, or received within the Protectorate, except by permission of a Consular officer in writing, signified by him on the note of sale or transfer or otherwise, as seems fit. 17. Until orders to the contrary are issued by the Consul General, no permit shall be given to any native of the Protectorate to buy, sell, or possess fire-arms within the limits of the Protectorate. 18. If any person imports, exports, sells, buys, transfers, keeps, uses, possesses, or deals with any fire-arms or ammunition in contravention of these Regulations, he shall be guilty of an offence, and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine which may extend to 1,000 rupees, or imprisonment, which may extend to twelve months, with or without hard labour, and all the fire-arms or ammunition in respect of which the offence is committed may be forfeited. 19: It shall be lawful for any Magistrate, if satisfied by information on oath that any fire-arms or ammunition are being unlawfully kept, conveyed, landed, or sold, in contravention of these Regulations, at any place, whether a building or not, or in any ship or vehicle, to grant a warrant to enter at any time, and, if need be, by force, on Sundays as well as any other days, the place, ship, or vehicle named in such warrant, and every part thereof, and to examine the same, and to search for any fire-arms or ammunition unlawfully kept therein, and to demand from the owner, occupier, master, or other person in charge thereof, the production of his licence or authority for keeping, conveying, landing, or selling the same. 20. When the officer or other person executing such warrant has reasonable cause to believe that any fire-arms or ammunition found by him in such place, ship, or vehicle, are being kept, conveyed, landed, or sold in contravention of these Regulations, he may seize and detain the same until the Consul-General has decided whether they are liable to be forfeited or not. 21. Any person acting under such warrant shall not be liable to any suit for seizing or detaining any fire-arms or ammunition subject, or presumably subject, to the provisions of these Regulations. 22. Fire-arms belonging to, or imported for the use of, the Government of the Protectorate are exempted from the provisions of these Regulations; but any person unlawfully possessing or dealing with any such fire-arms or ammunition shall, nevertheless, be guilty of an offence against these Regulations, and be punished accordingly. 23. These Regulations shall come into force on such day as may be appointed by the Consul-General, and that date is hereinbefore referred to as the commencement of these Regulations.
