Court in Kataba, furnished with my precis of the Amirs clam,
cross-cases, the Turkish subjects may well appear , th , e 4^ a

would scrutinize it before informing the Kaimmakam, Kataba, m th ^
where the hearing is made at Kataba, the Ka.mmakam would be a k< d «
make it a rule to inform me of the decision passed, which would be forwarded
to the Amir. If dissatisfied, the Amir would again ^dress me. I ^uo
other cause of action, so long as we stay m DthaU. It ^ |he

jurisdiction is Amiri hut supervised by Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. .
