with Great Britain, and the Chiefs of Badagry, on behalf of

themselves and their people.
Art. I. The
.people of Badagry and others, natives of
the neighbouring count.fies, trading in or to Badagry, shall
be allowed to trade freely and directly with the merchants
trading at Badagry in their own establishments, and none
shall, on that account, be subject to any impost more than
when trading one with another.
Art. 11. No native nor Chief of Badagry shall con-
trol in any way the trading transactions of any mer •
chant by fixing the price at which any article is to be sold,
but shall leave that to be settled between the buyer and
seller themselves.
Art. 111. The Chiefs of Badagry shall cause their sub-
jects to pay their just debts to traders within reasonable
time, and, if not paid within the time fixed, shall cause the
property of the person so owing to be sold to liquidate the
debt.
Art. IV. Any person subjects to the Chiefs of Badagry
that may be cmvicted of theft, robbery, incendiarism, or any
other offence, shall be punished by the Chiefs, and they
shall use proper means to bring any person accused of any
offence, to justice,
Art. V. Traders at Badagry shall be allowed to employ
in any legal work any person they may choose, whether a
native of Badagry or not, and no native nor Chief of
Badagry shall obstruct persons so employed] in the per-
formance of their work.
Art. VI. In consideration of the due fulfilment of the
foregoing Articles, the traders at Badagry shall pay a duty
of 1 heads of cowries on every 150 gallons of palm oil, or
nut oil, and 2 strings of cowries on every pound of ivory
exported from Badagry, the amount arising from such duty
shall be divided quarterly, by her Britannic Majesty's
Consul amongst the Chiefs of Badagry, according to their
conduct and capabilities in furthering the interests of com-
merce and civilisation.
It is clearly understood that the payment of one head per
30 gallons hitherto charged by Badagry people on palm oil
coming from Porto Novo, and all other such charges and
imposts on produce, cease when this agreement comes in
force.
