t ye^ir, Uiough the Shaikh h a d
been.remonstrated with repeatedly throughout hie ion; reign,
aa the history of the State in "Aitchlson^ Treaties• Vol,
ull # para. 149, and later records show only too clearly*
4. In i^y opinion the Gov irnnsnt of India were
entirely within their right in withdrawing ruling powers from
this Shaikh las^t year and transferring them to his eldest
son, whom Shaikh Isa, his relatives and the tribal Shaikhs
had asked the Government of India to formally recognise ao
heir to the throne in 1897.
5. In the circumstances it seems to be a waste of
time and money for Hhaikh Isa to submit further appeals
anywhere. here cannot be anything new in them, and my
predecessor has shown that the memorial addressed to Ills
Excellency the Viceroy was full of inaccuracies and false-
-hoods.
6. If the Government of India have already sen* a
copy of the memorial of February 1924 to the Secretary of
State for India and if that officer has concurred in thetr
decisional would suggest that the Solicitors be so informed.
7. Shaikh Isa was granted an allowance of Ks. 4000
per menBcm from the time of his deposition and he has also
been left in the enjoyment of Btate lands which produce an
income of Rs. 3000 or Rs. 4000 per anrum . In October last
his balance at the Bank was about lb. 20,000.
8. The persons most interested in suppressing the new
regime are the tribal Bhalkhs, the more dishonest and tyrann-
~ical pearling Bakhodas and the cadet members of the A1
Khalifa family, who receive allowances from the ctate. Ho^-
who
doubt these persons^have indicated to Shaikh Isa the course
he should pursue in the matter of his appeal, have up to now
provided all the necessary funds. I see no reason why
they should be given any refund of their expenditure through
the Bhaikh.
