MEMORANDUM.
Roforonco your telegram No.116-0 dated 24th November I 921 .
On the 5th instant Shaikh Hafidh bln Jahaba applied to me for
an endorsement to his Certificate of Identity {Bahrain No ,1582 of
22nd November I 92 O for return to Bahrain, and, as you had deacri-
bed him on it as coming here ’for visit 1 and made it available for
a yea.v instead of for the voyage only, I assumed that there was r»
objection to his returning and gave him the endorsement.
He left here by 8 . 8 . "Bar Jora 15 on the ?th instant, but returned
by the ’’Ahmedi" yesterday afternoon.
He states that on his arrival at Bahrain Shaikh dalman bin
Hamad al-’Isa and Khan Bahadur Muhammad Bharlf boarded the vessel
and told him that the Shaikh of Bahrain did not wish him to remain
in Bahrain, and that you agreed with him in this decision. He
accordingly transferred to the "Ahinedi”, which was then in harbour,
and returned to Kuwait without landing.
Ha has now come to me as the oppressed British protected
person, and asks to be told for what reason this decision has been
taken. As is usual with this type of person, he professes the most
profound love and admiration for everything British. He says that
. >■ : ' * V
there was certainly no question of his not being allowed to return
when he left Bahrain in November, and, in support of his statement,
produces a paper granting him leave of absence from the school. He
maintains that he can think of absolutely no reason for Shaikh 'Isas
leclsion . He hints that you personally have had your mind poisoned
against him by lying reports, which he fears you have believed, that
he has been speaking against you regarding the case of a Persian
who died a few days after having been up before you v on the charge ■
of having stolen a ring.
I iipoke to Shaikh Ahmad about him when I received your telegram
