atic* Ke is considering the appointment of Shaikh Salman
bin Hamad bin Isa to double for him, a duty which will give
him an opportunity to discover how much legal knowledge
this young Shaikh has acquired in Palestine. Mr. Belgrave
confirmed that there was no compilation of State laws and
rules in existence, and that the Sudan Penal Code, though
relied on, ha^ not been formally introduced. Apparently
His Highness did not care about having the courts bound by
set rules for punishments. The Sudan Civil Code is not
apparently in force.
7. PQUCa .
I began by sayihg that the police in Bahrain
were costly and inefficient aMi drew attention to some
highly discreditable instances that had occurred recently
namely the theft of ammunition from Jidda' Island where it
transpired that nearly half a million rounds had not been
properly handed over and were in charge of a Lance-Naik.
NLr. Belgrave could give no adequate explanation of this, or
indeed of the fact that an important prisoner in this case
had been allowed to escape by the police and I stated frankly
that I thought the whole matter was highly discreditable
and reflected seriously upon him. I inquired the functions
of the new British Police officers. These are apparently
making themselves useful and it is intended that they
should prosecute cases in court in #iich Europeans and
Americans are concerned. They are mounted on motor bicycles.
Mr. Belgrave said that they were popular with His Highness,
which is very fortunate. I inquired the suitability of
having an Zraqi officer in the Police and Mr. Belgrave
replied that he was an excellent mm and most useful. I
expressed surprise that in 15 years it had not been found
possible to train up a team of highly reliable local men.
