Foieign.
The post of Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. Surgeon, Maskat, continues vacant.
The Medical Officer of the 95th and then of the 94th Infantry stationed
at Bait-ul-Falaj officiated as Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. Surgeon in addition to his own duties.
On the departure of the latter regiment the duties were undertaken by the
Medical Officer of the 108th Infantry. An allowance of Es. 100 per mensem
was sanctioned for the officer performing these duties.
Sub-Assistant Surgeon J. P. Mascarenhas remained in charge of the Hos
pital and performed his duties very efficiently.
Monsieur A. Jeannier was Consul for
France throughout the year.
Abdul Aziz bin Euwahi continued as Dragoman.
Monsieur Paul Constance, Petty Officer in charge of the French Coal
Dep6t, was relieved, in September, by Petty Officer Matiudi.
At the close of the year no less than 80 cases remained unsettled out of
140 which had been submitted to His
Highness during the year.
This was partly due no doubt, to the constant change of Political Agents ;
but not the least cause of the discontent which exists regarding the adminis
tration of Saiyid Taimur is due to the fact that complaints are not properly
attended to, while his want of readiness in seeing such Shaikhs as come to visit
him is a cognate cause of dissatisfaction, Saiyid Nadir, the Sultan's brother,
takes a large part in the transaction of judicial work, as indeed also the general
work of administration but he is reported to be venal.
Since the close of the year His Highness has made commendable efforts to
dispose of arrears himself and to improve matters, but the few advisers he has
are not very wise and such advice as they give is not to his benefit.
Administration of His Highness the Sultan.
