The letter relates to the incident of piracy committed by Humeed bin Majdull of Gunnah. Malet writes that it is the opinion of the Honourable Governor in Council that the Bahrain chief [Muhammad bin Khalifa] is responsible for the sale of captives in his territory, but that if Humud bin Mujuddel [Humeed bin Majdull] has quitted Sheikh Muhammad's service, there is a question over whether blood money can be rightly demanded of him. The Governor in Council recommends 'inflicting a severe penalty' upon Humeed bin Majdull.
