What did the treaties of 1763 and 1783 allow British subjects to do in Belize?

Under the treaties signed in 1763 and 1783, Spain granted British subjects the privilege of exploiting logwood within specified and poorly surveyed territories in what is now Belize. While Spain retained sovereignty over the region, these agreements allowed the British to extract timber, though they were strictly prohibited from establishing a formal government structure or developing plantations. Following these initial treaties, British subjects were later granted the privilege to exploit the more valuable mahogany starting in 1786.12
