About this item
- Content
The file contains correspondence between the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , the Colonial Office, the Foreign Office, the Political Department of the Government of India, and the High Commissioner in Cairo, regarding the legal status of Hadramaut [Hadramawt] subjects; plus minutes regarding Saudi influence in the Hadramaut.
The papers dated 1924 concern the possible inclusion of the Aden Protectorate in legislation allowing residence in a Protectorate or Mandated Territory to qualify for an Imperial Certificate of Naturalisation, and includes a copy of the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, 1914, and draft additions (folios 59-66).
The papers dated 1931 concern the legal status of Hadramaut subjects with regards to the jurisdiction of the Consular Courts in Egypt, a question raised in response to an enquiry made by R B Yeates, a barrister in Cairo. Yeates enquires as to whether subjects of the Hadramaut enjoyed capitulatory rights in Egyptian courts. The correspondence consists of a detailed legal discussion of the various definitions of 'British Protected Persons'. In the end it is communicated to Yeates that a decision regarding the jurisdiction of Consular Courts in Egypt over Hadramaut subjects will be provided by the Secretary of State, but only in the event that such a question is addressed to him through one of the courts.
The papers dated 1936 (folios 2-8) consist of minutes made by Khan Bahadur Ihsanullah, Indian Vice-Consul at Jedda. The first minute concerns meetings in Mecca with a Hadramaut subject named Seyyid, and a separate meeting with Shaikh Ali Abdullah Ba Dagaub. They discussed attempts by Osman al Amoudi, leader of the Irshadiya movement in Java, to open schools in the Hadramaut. Al Amoudi is said to have the backing of the Saudi Government. Shaikh Ali also discussed Saudi relations with tribes in the Hadramaut. The second minute documents a meeting with Shaikh Osman el Amudi and Shaikh Ali Badgaish, where they discussed the Qaity dynasty, Saudi intentions towards Hadramaut territories, and dissatisfaction with British involvement in the Hadramaut.
The file includes a divider which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the volume by year. This is placed at the end of the correspondence (folio 1).
