from a third party which goes to gi ve the lie to the letter from the Kaimmakam,
whose letter is dated 13th Rajab 1324 (i.e., 2nd August 1906). In it
he says that Musleh Suhail ignores the charge, and further asks that the
aggrieved party may be sent to Kataba to confront the accused. The Amir
was sent copy of Kaimmakam’s letter and was asked to do the needful. In a
