His Majesty the King of Bavaria, Count Palatine of the Rhine, Duke of Bavaria, of Franconia, and in Suabia, &c., having learnt that, according to the laws in force in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and in the British colonies and possessions, no duty whatever is collected on the exportation and transfer of inheritances and other property be- longing to Bavarian subjects, the undersigned Minister of State for the Department of the Royal House and for Foreign Affairs, declares by these presents, in the name of His Majesty's Government, that no deduction shall henceforth be made under the title of droit d'aubuine ou de détraction, upon inheritances and other property in Bavaria belonging to subjects of Her Britannic Majesty, whether in the United Kingdom or in the British colonies and possessions; and that the abolition of such duties in favour of those subjects shall have its full and entire effect, not only in all future cases, so long as the laws shall not be changed in this respect in the United Kingdom and in the British colonies and possessions, but also in all those cases in which, up to the date of the signature of the present Act, the duties thus abolished shall not have been actually and definitely collected.
In witness whereof this Declaration, destined to be substituted for the Declaration of the 10th of April, 1836, and to be exchanged against a similar Declaration on the part of the Government of Her Britannic Majesty, securing perfect recipro- city to Bavarian subjects, has been delivered by the undersigned Minister of State, and sealed with the seal of his arms.
