quote the figure. The olerk was ^t the aoaent preparing figures fot
the oreport on the Bahrain Order in Council A regulation issued by the sovereign of the United Kingdom on the advice of the Privy Council. .but when I signed that
report I did not notice the apparent discrepancy. The figure I221
is correct f & the Misceltaneous petitions nay rightly be included
in it. They include all sorts of minor cases which are often settled
by calling on a th ird party to aidiate etc. in the Arab style^ut
all of which involve an expenditure of tiae.They were clisaifiod
separately this last year instead of being included under Civil
Suits as in 1921. The figure 1221 can therefore be coapared with the
figure 1008 of 1921. In giving t e round figure 1250 the clerk
allowed also for a nuaber of cases which were not in the registers
& therefore did not get included in the actual figures taken froa th ?
registers forth® report. The reason for this is as follows.Shaik 1 s
subjects filing suits against British subjects do not open the case
by a petition in th^ ordinary v ay t but bring a letter from the Shaike
or one of the Arair's. For soae time we treated these separately
& although the cases nwm* dealt with f they were not numbered &
entered in the registers as for other cases. When I discovered this
I gave orders for such letters to be put in the petition box &
when dealt with to be numbered & registered as for other cases.
Allowing for these tho total would come to well over 125O .T0 get at
the actual figure .as they are not registered, would entail going al"

will automatically be included in the figures quoted in the repor .
When the fact that tho court was cloned for 5 months is allowed
I think the increase is not inconsiderable.A large number of cas'
which occur during the diving season were thereby escaped & plai
had to get what redress th^y could from the local 3hara f or
