In the following year another dispute between
Ahmed bin Shahin and Ahmed bin Saad, both of Eawar,
regarding fishing and other rights in Hawar, was
judged in the Bahrain Court and a photograph of
the judgment, which is in the possession ^
and the Q^di of Bahrain, is attached*
Fishing rights off the shore of Hawar and the
other islands were originally granted to the people
of Hawar by the Shaikh of Bahrain* If these docu
ments are available they will be f6rwarded. The
Hawar fish traps are registered in the Land Depart
ment of the Bahrain Government as are all other
fish traps in Bahrain waters*
6. The people of Hawar are subject to the Ruler
of Bahrain and to all the laws and regulations of
Bahrain, in addition no donkeys are allowed in Hawar
without written permission from the Bahrain Govern
ment and Bahrain subjects are not permitted to quarry
gypsum in Hawar without written authority from the
Bahrain Government. The intention of this restric
tion was to prevent the supply of gypsum from being
rapidly exhausted*
7* The people of Hawar most strongly resent
any suggestion that they are not the subjects of
Bahrain living within the dominion of their Ruler*
At no time have they admitted any allegiance to the
Q,attar Shaikhs nor, until now, has the Ruler of Q,atar
by any action or by any implication inferred that he
has rights over the Hawar islands.
Bahrain Government, signed by the Ruler
