but they refuoefl him that, and would not allow him to see^him,
expreasing regret, and w^en it was made certain that they had
no intention of doing justice and giving him his rights, he
returned from there.
Shaikh Khalifah has however obtained o^missions from some
merobants of. the coast, one of whom is Khalid bin Ibrahim bin
Yusuf, before tehom the said Rashid bin Abdullah bin Abaid
admitted and acknowledrei that he had a pearl, a large one of
good quality; and the said Khalid questioned him as to how he

that on observing, that the above mentioned Rashid was spending
much money, he questioned him as to whence he ^o + the money,

bin Abdullah bin Abaid and questioned him about the case of the

This is a part of the evidence against him, and T am sub
mitting the case and complaining to you praying for justice in
the case of this thief, and I am sure that the justice of the
High Government of C!reat Britain will not nut up with a deed so

the case, or you may send him to Qatar as he is my subject,, and
the matter is referred firstly to Ood and secondly to you in
that respect and in conclusion I pay you my best resnects and
