attached to his person shall be observed in respect to him.

The functionary or the officer charged with the accomplishment of a
domiciliary visit in the exceptional circumstances determined before,
and the members of the council of elders who shall assist him, will be
obliged to make out a _proces verbal_ of the domiciliary visit and to
communicate it immediately to the superior authority under whose
jurisdiction they are, and the latter shall transmit it to the nearest
consular agent without delay.

A special regulation will be promulgated by the Sublime Porte to
determine the mode of action of the local police in the several cases
provided heretofore.

In localities more distant than nine hours' travel from the residence
of the consular agent, in which the law of the judicial organization
of the _velayet_ may be in force, foreigners shall be tried without the
assistance of the consular delegate by the council of elders fulfilling
the function of justices of the peace, and by the tribunal of the
canton, as well for actions not exceeding 1,000 piasters as for offenses
entailing a fine of 500 piasters only at the maximum.

Foreigners shall have in any case the right of appeal to the tribunal of
the arrondissement against the judgments issued as above stated, and the
appeal shall be followed and judged with the assistance of the consul in
conformity with the treaties.

The appeal shall always suspend the execution of a sentence.

In all cases the forcible execution of the judgments, issued on the
conditions determined heretofore, shall not take place without the
cooperation of the consul or of his delegate.

The Imperial Government will enact a law which shall determine the rules
of procedure to be observed by the parties in the application of the
preceding regulations.

Foreigners, in whatever locality they may be, may freely submit
themselves to the jurisdiction of the council of elders or of the
tribunal of the canton without the assistance of the consul in cases
which do not exceed the competency of these councils or tribunals,
reserving always the right of appeal before the tribunal of the
arrondissement, where the case may be brought and tried with the
assistance of the consul or his delegate.

The consent of a foreigner to be tried as above stated, without the
assistance of his consul, shall always be given in writing and in
advance of all procedure.
