becoming more and more difficult to get him to make a
decision.
Shaikh Abdullah bin Isa has been of great assist-

exerting his influence more and more on the side of good
Government, much is to be noped of him in the future.

other bribes to avoid taking out a Persian jawaz. Later he
went to India for three months and spent most of the time at
Bombay. He was given a free trip to Rangoon by the B.I.S.

mental incapacity than anything else.
Shaikh Salman bin Hamad has been doing steady
and useful work as Joint Magistrate and Judge of the Bahrain
Court. He is hard working and sensible and will make a
useful Judge when he has more confidence.
