Letter regarding the 'incorrigible mischeviousness' of Mahomed bin Khuleefeh (Shaikh Muḥammed bin Khalīfah Āl Khalīfah) of Bahrein and reports that he has been killed by his fellow Chief's for allowing Bedouins to persistently plunder towns and British subjects as well as Pelly's belief that previous British action against Bahrein has led to this outcome.
