Henceforth transactions on credit shall be allowed only with the knowledge and permission of official institutions; without such permission no claims shall be examined by Government Institutions.

Should such agreements have been entered into before the conclusion of the present treaty, and should the parties thereto be unable to settle matters amicably, while the loss suffered is great, the payment of such debts may be enforced by the said institutions, but in no case shall the debts concern the Shabinars and Hoshuns.

(Shabinars—people who depend from the Court of Hu-tuk-tu and pay taxes to the Court Department.)

(Hoshun—principality.)

The present treaty shall come into force on the date of the signature thereof.
