Sir,
I haye the hoisour to report that certaiii demoastrat-
ioas occurred after the issue of the proclamation of the
Bahrain GoTemment concerning inheritaELce,of which I enclose
a copy. I propose to give a brief survey of the circum
stances which lead up to the issue of this proclamation.
2. About a year ago I discorered that the proyisions
of the
Order in Council
A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council.
regarding inheritance were to a
great extent being ignored and the property of foreigners
was being disposed of without any reference to the igency,
tuf
cases only being referred to tkwhen some dispute
occurred, and^owing to this,where some of - the heirs were
minors,the whole property was eyen liable to disappear
before they were of ag^e to protect themselves, it was of
little value to them to have the right to sue on attaining
majority if the money had all disappeared. A particularly
glaring case came to my notice^where an unfortunate Persian
minor had the greater part of his patrimony filched from
him before the

received any notice of what was
happening,and it was found that when the Xkadbca Shiah Qaahi
himself had undertaken the administration of the child's
estate,a very large proportion of the estate had been
consumed by his administration charges.
3. I therefore issued a proclamation embodying
briefly the provisions of the
Order in Council
A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council.
