^h© Tribunal adjourned*
8 * 111© Tribunal is©if a^ain on tih© lObh May when
th© Hejd delegates haiKied in the memorandum, a
translation of which is attached to the Minutes, stating
m effect that the Nejd Government regarded th© claims
put forward by th© Trans-Jordan Government as fraudulent
and fictitious and that no useful purpose would be
served by continuing the sittings of the Tribunal. The
dslegEues sta&ed that with the presentation of this
Memorandum their authority to represent their Government
cease 1, and Sabri el Assali added for my information
out not officially that his Government did not propose
to summon Nejd Sheikhs to clear themselves from liability
for claims which th© Government believed to be unfounied.
The sittings of the Tribunal then terminated,
9* In my opinion the action of the Nejd Government
in withdrawing its delegates from the Tribunal was
entirely unjustified. It was no doubt right and proper
that th© Nejd Government should have an opportunity of
seeing the claims made by the Trans-Jordan Tribes in
order that, if it were disposed to act fairly, ary
undisputed loot might have been at once returned, as,
indeed, it was suggested would be done in Sheikh Yousef
YasinU letter of 24.2,1927 to the British igent at
Jedda, But the Nejd Governnent, which was a party to
the Hadda Agreement under which this Tribunal was
constituted for the very purpose of adjudicating upon
disputed claims, had no right to take upon itself to
decide whether any particular claim was true or false
and thereby to oust th© jurisdiction of the Tribunal,
Its action is th© more indefensible in that, if these
claims
