British subjects, complained of extortion and personal ill-usage by
Hamad-bin-Nasir, the A\ ali of the town ; and the British Political
Agent was successful in obtaining- from the Sultan the removal of
that official and the payment of |100 as an indemnity to the
sufferers. The misconduct of the Bani Battash resulted, in September
1886, m some loss to a Hindu trader at Quryat, but it was doubtless
made good out of the fine soon after recovered from the tribe. In
April 1887 two boats of H.M.S. " Kingfisher/' while lying at anchor at
Sur, were fired on by night from the shore and obliged to put to sea for
safety ; but no damage was done, nor could any clue to the author
of the outrage be obtained. At Sur in July 1887 one Hindu trader
was beaten and another kidnapped by the Aulad Kasib, a small
section, originally of the Jannabah, who had attached themselves to
'he Bam Bu'Ali; but the necessity for action by the Sultan or by the
British Government was obviated by prompt and friendly action on the
part of the Shaikhs of the Bani Bu 'Ali.
