Under orders of His Excellency the Viceroy and Governor General
of India in Council I have the honour to again call your attention
to the correspondence on tne subject of your interf ere?ice wi tn
affairs of the mp inland of Guttur and in particular t net own of
ZobjU'ah,vi25<, my letters dated 2nd Zilicaada 1291( 12th December 1874)
and 4th Safar 1292 ( 12th March 1875)* From your letter dated tne
15th Safar 1292 (23rd March 1876 last) I apprehended tnat you had
failed to realise the full meaning of the communications I had
addressed to you on t his subject and the Importance to yourself
of entirely dissevering yourself from tne affairs of tne mainland,
interference in which might any day lead you into complications,
I therefore addressed you a further communioet ion dated the 23rd
Safar 1292 ( 31-at March 1875). I cannot doubt tnat you must nave
fully comprehended now the views and advice which I have tendered you
by order of the Government of India,
[ But notwithstanding this it appears that you still take
proceedings with regard to Zobarah which 0 bviously entangle you in
the affairs of the rta inland*-
As then the advice you received through me must nave been
quite understood by you, and as you do not as yet appear to have
fully abided by it, it becomes necessary uni er orders of the Govern-
raent of India to explain to you as clearly as possi ble that if you
thould decide to persist in a course opposed to the advice of tne
government of India and are thereby involved in complicat ions on
the mainland, tne consequences will be upon yourself, an d the
ritis i Government will hold themselves free to take such measures

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).
