8. Major Jacob writes that the Amir of D’thala is again haying trouble
with some of his tribesmen on Jibal Jehaf. I referred to this in the third
paragraph of my weekly letter dated the 13th October last. On that occasion
that matter was one of revenue collection. On the present occasmn the
Jihafis are opposing the arrest of a criminal who recently murdered a Turkish,
subject in Amiri territory close to the border. The Kaimmakauy has asked
that justice may be done, and the incident is of general importance
than the dispute which occurred iu October last. Major Jacob says t at
tbe Amir is likely to appeal to us for assistance, as he fears trouble with
his Shairi tribesmen as well as with the Jihafis. I am telling him la i
the Amir actually does appeal for assistance, he should report the fact at once
and that meanwhile he should confine himself to giving sue a vice ^ 6
Amir and to his tribesmen as may tend to establish better relations between
them. At the same time, I would here add that Government ^Id now
be prepared to pass early orders in the event of ^ ^Mt^^peahug
wLL assistance. He has himself to thank for trouble with the Jihafb,
