dismissal. Nor do I think that the olieikh will be entitled
to determine the Agreement on the ground only that the
Compo-ny nad refused to ciismiss Major Holmes; but if the
Company persists in neglecting to maintain the chief local
representative at Bahrein,whether Major Holmes or some
other representative whose appointment has been approved
oy Hiw MajestyGovernment, then I think that the Sheikh
would have the right to ao so. I observe however that
under the Agreement the question whether the cancellation
of che Concession is justified on the ground that the
Company have failed to conform to the terms of the Agreement
is one which in the last resort falls to be determined by
arbitration,and the question whether the Company's action
or rather inaction in the matter of Major Holmes' frequent
aosences, apparently with the Company's consent, from his
post at Bahrein can reasonably be regarded as a breach of
their obligations under Condition C, is one of fact and of
degree, on which different persons might no doubt arrive at
different conclusions. In my opinion there is certainly
evidence on which an impartial Arbitrator could properly find
that a breach of Condition C* has occurred; but I cannot
affirm that an Arbitrator would necessarily take the
same view.
