being shipped to Qatar from -Hahram. Even that some goods
belonging to my subjects were presented at the Customs Pier
at Bahrain for shipment from there, but were prevented. i am
much surprised at sucn an act. What is the reasons lor it ?
Is action ot this sort permissible? I am also surprised to
notice the acts which are being done in Bahrain now-a-days

v/hich I consider to be contrary to the laws and rules. I see
that supplies are sent from Bahrain to the rioters and

insurgents of my subjects, such as goods, arms and ammunition.
These are all hostile deeds which the circumstances do not
permit. I draw your kind attention to this fact because
you are from those noble and brave men who do not agree to
act except in accordance with justice and equity.

About this item
- Content
File contains correspondence related to hostilities that occurred between the forces of Shaikh Abdullah bin Qassim Al Thani of Qatar and the Al Naim tribe that took place in June and July 1937.
At this time, the Al Naim tribe was allied to the Al Khalifa ruling family of Bahrain who claimed Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. as a part of their own territory (the family had been based there before their conquest of Bahrain in 1783). The British authorities did not recognise the Al Khalifa's claim to Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. and did not intervene on their behalf. Hostilities ended in July 1937 and Shaikh Rashid bin Muhammad, Chief of the Al Naim tribe, agreed to recognise the rule of the Al Thani family over Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. .
The file also contains a map of Qatar (folio 164) and four aerial photographs of Zubarah 18th-century town located 105 km from Doha. (folios 160-163).
