Oppenlieim) appear to accept this .proposition; the Law
Officers of 1905 also did so. If it is considered worth
while a more extensive search could be made into all the
available books on the subject, including those by foreign
writers as well as English writers (particularly the French
writer The lowest of the four classes into which East India Company civil servants were divided. A Writer’s duties originally consisted mostly of copying documents and book-keeping. Gidel) and anything that may be available in the
proceedings of the League of Nations codification work would
have to be taken into account. Beckett considers that the
result would probably show the balance of authority to be in
favour of the proposition, but that it is impossible to say
that the question is free from doubt.
5. As regards (b), the question depends upon our ability
to show that, in fact, an exclusive enjoyment of the
fisheries by the subjects of the Arab rulers has existed
over a long period, and that the rulers have maintained
their right, with or without British assistance, v/henever
it has been challenged. In other words, it would be
necessary to show that, although an occasional trespasser
may have been let through, trespassers have as a general rule
been effectually warned off. The Law Officers in 1905
appeared to feel that they had not been quite sufficiently
informed on this aspect of the matter, although on the whole
they considered their case to have been adequately proved.
We have no further information, but imagine that it could be
shown that between 1905 and the present day the position has
not -worsened in this respect. At the same time, -we think
that it would be very desirable to obtain more detailed
information on this aspect of the matter, and we should be
grateful if the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. could furnish us with the
necessary material. Meanwhile, for the sake of the argument
which follows, I ill proceed on the assumption that we could
show a good cas j on this aspect of the question also.
