In reply to your letter No. 1280 of May 22nd last on the
subject of the registra,tion of Sheikh Mubarak’s property at
P’adaghiya, I have the honour to state that, according to inform
ation I have received her©, orders were sent by the sublime
Porte to the effect that Sheikh Mubarek may transfer his property
in the names of his four sons, as he asked in Moharrem Bey’s
time, provided he registers them as Ottoman subjects.
I understand Sheikh Mubarek has on many occasions applied
to have the land transferred in the names of his sons but that
he does not agree to take out Teskeras or Ottoman nationality
for them and on his recent visit to Basra on May 31st last, he
proposed tp the Vali to transfer the land to one or several
of his womenfolk. The Vali however, 1 am told, said he could not
do this as it was not in accordance with the instructions he had
received, and he suggested that, if Mubarek wanted it done, he
should make a fresh application to that effect, which the Wall
professed himself willing to forward to Constantinople.
