they fully approve of the Consul holding no jurisdiction over
Siamese in their own country, the Siamese authorities, on the
other hand, will feel themselves bound to call on the Consul to
apprehend and punish British subjects who shall commit, whilst
in Siamese territory, any grave infractions of the laws, such as
cutting, wounding, or inflicting other serious bodily harm. But
in disputes, or in offences of a slighter nature, committed by
Brithish subjects among themselves, the Siamese authorities will
refrain from all interference.

With reference to the punishment of offences, or the
settlement of disputes, it is agreed:

That all criminal cases in which both parties are British
subjects, or in which the defendant is a British subject, shall be
tried and determined by the British Consul alone. All criminal
cases in which both parties are Siamese, or in which the defendant
is a Siamese, shall be tried and determined by the Siamese
authorities alone.

That all civil cases in which both parties are British
subjects, or in which the defendant is a British subject, shall be
heard and determined by the British Consul alone. All civil cases
in which both parties are Siamese, or in which the defendant
is a Siamese shall be heard and determined by the Siamese
authorities alone.
