has been his constant policy to create ill-feeling between the
Bahrain Government 8c the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. & all his advice is to that
effect. He is constantly making trouble with the object of damaging
Shaik Hamad in the hope that 3h. Abdulla will again get full control og
affeirs.This he does for his own reasons,as he was Abdull T s partner in
all their illicit gains. He is particularly anxious to create trouble

sum from the customs at ^anameh as a bribe not to molest them.He is
much opposed to the Manameh municipality and has Laoely beeii sncour-
aging people to try to gat up a public petition against it.This is
because formerly the ^hole manageii^ent of affairs in 5h. Abdull5.k r s
