The documents for fish traps usually mention boun
daries which often include vast areas of sea and shore.
The Goverhment has decided to consider that these
boundaries are merely for the purpose of protecting
the traps from being harmed by other traps in the
neighbourhood, and the areas within the boundaries
are not the actual property of the owners of the
traps. There has been some opposition to this
interpretation of ownership, which is undoubtedly
the correct one, mainly by the Bin Ali tribe of Hedd
who also claim, quite unjustifiably, that they were
once given a promise by Shaikh Isa that they should
at all times be exempted from all and any form of
taxation, therefore they resent having to pay Rs l/-
per annum on each fish trap.

Isa. An agreement was arrived at which should
