was installed as the first Mutasarrif. These
steps were professedly taken in consequence of a petition submitted
by the people of Hasa, but it appears that the meaning of their representa
tions was misunderstood or, more probably, misrepresented. At this early
period, however, it is possible that Turkish rule may have been preferred

Abdullah in attacking the tribes most devoted to Sa'ud, such as the

strength which he should have reserved for fighting the Turks in quarrels
with various petty tribes in his neighbourhood.
