The agreement settled property claims and changed trial safeguards

The agreement recorded the removal of the attachment on Charlton's property and the restoration of land that belonged to him. The suit had been brought while both plaintiff and defendant were absent, and the king promised that it would not be renewed under similar circumstances. British subjects were not to be confined in fetters unless they were riotous or quarrelsome, and then only for their security. The consul, or a British substitute he nominated, could attend proceedings. Where arbitration failed and local law had to decide a dispute, half the jury would consist of British subjects approved by the consul. Jurors had to swear that they had neither prejudged the case nor held an interest in its outcome.
