orders# if 3"0U order rae to be patient under the
injury to no' property and the objections urged by
the Arab princes against me, then I, according to my

their fort has been built 22 years from its com
mencement and the mud which they have used to eia-
bank is from this place and also this embankment
which I enclosed for the protection of my property
is fourteen years old and yearly I repair it and
others not less than three or four times.And xtem
their officials were looking on at it and did not

my possession land coming out from the river it is
necessary that they should deal with me according
to the rules and precedents, as they do witn oiners^
according to the agreements of the assembly of the
Idara who will make me owner of the land in the

they are quarrelling with me about and 1 will abide
