(Translation.)
We, the undersigned, Ali-bin-Khalifeh and the inhabitants
and subjects of Bahrein in general, do hereby declare that
Mahomed-bin-Khalifeh, having repeatedly committed acts of
pir acy and other irregularities at sea, and having now, after his
recent piratical act, fled from Bahrein, has forfeited all claim to
his title as Principal Sheikh and Chief of Bahrein, and at the
present moment there being no other sheikh, I, Ali-bin-Khalifeh,
received the resident's letter addressed to Mahomed-bin-Khalifeh,
and have understood the demands therein made, and I hereby
agree and accept the conditions as follows;—
1. To make over to-morrow morning, the 19th Jemadi-ool-
awul, 1285 (7th September, 1868), to the high in rank.
Captain Brown, commanding Her Majesty's ships present, all the
war buglas and buteels belonging to Mahomed-bin-Khalifeh and
myself".
2. To pay the resident the sum of 1 lakh of dollars in the
manner specified below :—
25,000 dollars cash, payable on the spot on the 7th September,
1868.
75,000 dollars by three annual instalments of 25,000 dollars,
each instalment being payable on the 7th September of
each successive year until the total sum is paid up.
3. To consider Mahomed-bin-Kalifeh as permanently excluded
from all participation in the affairs of Bahrein and as having no
claim to that territory, and in case of his returning to Bahrein I
promise to seize and make him over to the Resident; but if I do
not act up to the stipulations now agreed I may be considered a
pirate, as Mahomed-bin-Khalifeh himself.
4. In view of preserving the peace at sea, and precluding the
occurrence of further disturbance, and in order to keep the Resident
informed ot what happens, 1 promise to appoint an agent on my
part at Bushire.
