Secret,
No. 5.
To His Excellency the Right Honourable the Governor
General of India in Council.
My Lord,
With reference to your Secret Despatch No. 169, dated the
Turkish encroachments on the -3rd December 1909, as to Turkish
North-East Frontier of the Aden encroachments on the North-East
Protectorate. frontier of the Aden Protectorate,

* To Foreign Office, dated 27th January COll espondence ' With the Foreign
Office on the subject.
1910.
From ditto, dated 4tli February 1910.
Lb As regards Juban, His Majesty’s Government consider it desirable,
in view of the terms of the Proces-Verbal of the 20th April 1905, to
make it clear to the tribesmen concerned that they do not claim the
district as part of the British Protectorate. I request that the Resident
at Aden may be instructed to take a suitable opportunity of informing
the Nakib of Mausatta and the Sheikhs of Juban accordingly.
3. Nawa and Dthabiani stand on a different footing. But on the
information at present available it is not considered practicable to make
formal representations to the Porte in regard to the alleged Turkish
exactions in these regions. I requesHthat the Resident at Aden may be
instructed, in the first place, to make further inquiry into the facts
reported. When he has fully satisfied himself as to the merits of the
claims against the Turkish authorities, he should be authorised, if Your
Excellency in Council thinks that the facts disclosed are such as to
require that action, to address the Kaimakam of Rada with a view to
the local settlement of the cases.
4. Should it prove impossible to settle the matter locally, His
Majesty’s Government would be prepared to consider further the
question of making representations at Constantinople.
1 have the honour to be,
My Lord,
Your Lordship’s most obedient humble Servant,
(Signed) Morley of Blackburn.
