After Compliments.— We have received a letter from Sheikh Hizam
Abdallah, Chief of Al’od, stating that a man by “
Bashir of ’Ozlat Upper Sharnah, who is residing in the village of Snbairah in
the Yuhi territory had been to D’thala some time ago, for the furposeof
making purchases. On his return journey, as he neared Al Hazza, he was
accosted by two men of A1 Ahid, who deliberately murdered him and carried
away his goods. If the matter is lost sight of it will incite the relations of
the murdered man to reprisals, and had feeling between the two parties will be
chronic. This is of course antagonistic to the sense of justice and triend.U p
existing between us. We request you to arrest the murderers and to deal witk
them according to the principles of Law. We hope that you wiH apprise us
of the result at an early date. May you be preserved.
In reply I asked that complainant should appear in D’thala before Amir.
