with by a joint court, on which you and the Political Agent, Bahrein, wih sit, or on
which your representative and the representative of the Political Agent, Bahrein,
will sit. The place and the sitting of this court will be at Doha.
4. His Majesty's Government agree to what you explained to me verbally,
i.e., that the subjects of Koweit, Bahrein and the Trucial Coast should come under
your jurisdiction, but that all other British-protected persons should come under
the joint court.
5. In your letter you requested that your son Hamad should be recognised
by His Majesty's Government as your successor. His Majesty's Government agree
to this request, provided that Hamad now agrees to accept on his accession the
Treaty of 1916.
6. In your letter you further asked that His Majesty's Government should
accord yourself and Hamad, when the latter succeeded you, full support. You
explained to me verbally that what you meant by this was full support in internal
matter. His Majesty's Government are unable to accord you the measure of
support you ask for, since this would involve an undesirable degree of interference
in your administration. His Majesty's Government, however, are prepared to
support you and your successors in any difficulties arising from the presence of
the oil company. In other matters which concern you. the Government will not
interfere.
7. It is understood, of course, that the above arrangements are subject to
your granting the oil concession, about which the Anglo-Persian Oil Company have
been negotiating, to that company.
