135 » JUSTICE IN DUBAIJ
On the 23rd one of the Shaikh of Dufet‘s Batini
guards shot at and killed another Batini guard with whom
he had a his blood feud as the latter was walking in a street
of Dairah during the daytime. After removing the rifle and
ammunition of the murdered man he ran off and took shelter
in one of the towers outside the town. Shaikh Maktum bin
Juma and his brother Hamad with a number of men followed
'•him and ordered him to surrender himself to them. He refused
but on receiving an assurance that they would do him no
harm if he gave himself up he did so. He was promptly shot
■dead. This is typical of the 'reliance that can be placed
on the word of pretty well any member of the Maktum family.
136. ARABIAN-AM ER ICAN OIL COMPAIIY ,
On the 3rd Mr. Lloyd L» Moore relieved Mr. C.A.
Rodstrom as the Bahrain Agent of the Arabian-American Oil

of Ajman, accompanied by his sons All and Nasir, left for
the Jabal Aklidar in Oman to visit Shaikh Sulaiman bin
Hamyah. He intends to pass through Fujairah and take the
. Shaikh of Fujairah with him.
138. LOCAL AF F AIRS .
(i) Marriage under difficulties . On the night
of the 17th a party from the village of Mani arrived at the
village of Barbar to celebrate a marriage. The men of
Barbar took exception to certain slogans shouted by the
marriage party from Mani and refused to allow them to enter
Barbar. They also beat some policemen who attempted to
intervene. This called down the forces of law and order
upon them, and the following day a posse of 10 policemen
and 5 men of the Camel Corps arrived in Barbar 5 flogged
the ringleaders, and stood guard while the marriage was
celebrated.
(ii) Much of Ihe dishonest behaviour recently
discovered amongst the minor.officials of the Food Control
Departmert seems to be due to the example set them by the
members of the Food Control Committee. The names of Shaikh.
Ibrahim, a son of Shaikh Mohammed bin Isa al Khalifah, his
agent, Syed Hasan bin Syed Majed Aradi, and Ahmed Tawil
are connected with black market activities.
(iii) Ahmed Omran, the
Municipality has gone on leave
bin Ali Khalfan, the Passport
place. The Hoad Clerk of the P
Secretary of the Manamah
for 4 months and Ibrahim
ficer, is acting in his
ssport Office will carry
out the duties of the Passport Officer. It is reported
that some accounts misappropriations have come to light in
Ahmed Omran ? s absence. This is not in any way surprising.
