THE HESIDEUCY,
Aden, 13th Octoher 1934.
Sir,
I have the honour to refer to my letter
No.C/712, dated the 4th August 1934, on the subject of
shipping facilities to the port of Bir f Ali in the
Aden Protectorate, and to inform you that a reply has
now been received from the Officer Administering the
Government of the Straits Settlements, Singapore, to
my letter No.C/620 of the 14th July last in which he has
stated that up to the 13th September 1934 no shipping
line had asked for a clearance to Bir ’Ali, and that
possibly no ships would seek to clear for that port.
2. He has added that his legal advisers are
uncertain that the refusal of a port clearance for no
other reason than that the ship is clearing for Bir ’Ali
is intra vires , but that there was a possibility that
the issue of a port clearance might be of grace and not
of right, and that there was also the possibility of
refusal on the ground that Bir ’Ali, being described
in the Gulf of Aden Pilot, 8th Edition 1932, as a
village, could not possibly be designated as a ’’port"
to which a clearance might be issued.
3 . He has further stated that in any case,
whatever the legal position may be, he proposes to
issue instructions to the Master Attendant that Port
Clearances are to be refused to ships wishing to clear
for Bir ’Ali, and that he would advise me of the
/
intermediate ports for which any ship clears alter
being
