THHTY VP JUSTICE TO THE OPPRESSED.
Correspondence has passed between the High Wllayat
and the Sheikh of Bahrein, Isa A1 Khalifah, about^secjond
refusal of the latter to recognise the rights of his
cousin Hamad A1 Khalifah In the inheritance of his
father who was Sheikh of Bahrein, (Sheikh Isa) alleg
ing that the custom of their ancestors requires that
the possessor of power and authorit3 7 ' should be dis
tinguished from the (other members of the ) family by
(the right of) appropriating all the remaining pro
perty; and as an act of generosity on his part he-|the
isolated one}-may grant them what will save them from
the disgrace of begging!- and that,verily, he (Sheikh
Isa.) did whatever seemed necessary and had given them
what had seemed good to him!
But these deceptions and fallacies could not find
acceptance with His Excellency the Wali of the Wilayat*
and he therefore issued his generous order for the
despatch of a trustworthy person who should enquire
into the matter minutely and reduce the extent of the
disagreement between the parties. He has strongly
charged Sheikh Isa to do justice to his cousin and to
terminate dispute and discord.
We regret to see to what a state some leaders
and persons of authority have been brought by their
tyranny and pride and their adherence to the skirts
of falsehood. We trust that something loe done to re-
A
move these fatal diseases. -And Hfod is the Revenger of
