I have been requested by the Judge of His Britannic Majesty’s Court for
Zanzibar to ascertain whether the Government of Bombay From c. 1668-1858, the East India Company’s administration in the city of Bombay [Mumbai] and western India. From 1858-1947, a subdivision of the British Raj. It was responsible for British relations with the Gulf and Red Sea regions. will be so good as
to allow a British Indian named Soomar Mahomed, who has been sentenced
by him to eight months’ rigorous imprisonment, to serve the remainder of his
sentence in one of the Government jails in the Bombay Presidency The name given to each of the three divisions of the territory of the East India Company, and later the British Raj, on the Indian subcontinent. . The
request is based on the fact that there is no prison in this Protectorate suitable
to rigorous imprisonment and no work on which British Indians condemned
thereto can be suitably employed.
I would venture for the same reason to ask whether there would he any
objection, on the part of your Government, to British Indian convicts who have
been sentenced in Zanzibar to more than six months’ rigorous imprisonment
being sent, at the discretion of His Majesty’s Judge, to serve their sentences in
the Bombay Presidency The name given to each of the three divisions of the territory of the East India Company, and later the British Raj, on the Indian subcontinent. . If the Government of Bombay From c. 1668-1858, the East India Company’s administration in the city of Bombay [Mumbai] and western India. From 1858-1947, a subdivision of the British Raj.

this concession, I would ask you to be so good as to communicate to me the
conditions with regard to payment, &c., which would be attached to it. During
the last three years there have been thirteen such sentences passed by the
Courts in Zanzibar. J
