I inspected to-day with the Superintendent of the
Land Department the land which is the subject of dispute.
Mohammad bin Abdullah the claimant was present but the
three sons of Shaikh Ibrahim bin Khalid were not present
although served with notices.
2. A rough plan is placed below. The western boundary
is stated in the sale deed to be A1 Mirzaz at the northern
end of Has al Sabana. Has al Sabana is locally understood
to mean iLrising stony ground to the west of the road and
towards the north of this y a pile of stones exists. The
pile is small and it is impossible to say whether it has
been placed in position recently or whether it is in fact
the pile of stones referred to in the sale deed.
3. The northern boundary is stated to^ be a ditch. Two
ditches exist running parallel to each other with some
30 yards between them. In my view only one of these, the
southern^nost, appeared old enough to be the ditch mentioned
in the sale deed. There were no signs on the land of any
other ditch or of any ditch having been filled in.
4. The southern boundary is stated in the deed to be
Al Kaukab as the claimant has pointed out. It consists of
a few big black stones reached by the sea at high tide.
Enquiries from the people at Askar showed that these stones
were known by all by the name of Al Kaukab and that no other
place existed within the vicinity of Askar with this name
AtU Ctu~-
as long as the inhabitants rememberad. There can be little
doubt that these stones mark the southern boundary of the
land.
5. The Eastern boundary Iml fef the sea.
6. The only uncertain boundary is on the western side
and as the road which has been in existence for a large
Av IhZ i •A Utc*/
number of years has not been mentioned it can be presumed

that the e^t^at bf the land was to the <east of it. The
western boundary might be considered to be a line marking
the end of the stony ground of Has al Sabana the ’ ,

The petition was raised by a Saudi Arabian resident in Bahrain called Muhammad bin Abdulla bin Hasan Al-Bu ‘Ayenen to the Political Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. in Bahrain. The petitioner was asking for the recovery of the title deed of some land he purchased in the past at 'Askar.

After investigation, the Land Department, in agreement with the Ruler of Bahrain and the Adviser to the Government of Bahrain (Charles Dalrymple Belgrave), agreed that only the cultivated piece of land at 'Askar was the property of the petitioner, and that the rest of the land should be taken into the possession of the Government and defined as Government wasteland.

The main correspondence is between Muhammad bin Abdulla bin Hasan Al-Bu ‘Ayenen, the Adviser to the Government of Bahrain (Charles Dalrymple Belgrave) and the Bahrain Political Agency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, headed by an agent. .
