MSMQRANPUK,
Reference your memorandum No, —iiifiLi—,dated 23rd March 1922 ,
Two days before the receipt of your memorandum under refer
ence, the Shaikh came to see me on the subject of the Somali boy
and asked how the case was processing. I told him that I had
heard from Muscat and that nothing was kno^n of the case there,
and that I was still awaiting your reply.
He then volunteered the remark that he did not consider it
necessary to bother about trying to prove that the boy was Musa
bin Hairi's cousin at all but that it was quite enough to show
that he was a Somali, as if he were that, he must be a British
subject or the subject of one or other of our allies, Prance or
Italy, and that as such he was entitled to his freedom. He said
he had written to me on the subject, apd hoped I would reply *n
the lines he suggested, as the boy’s owner wanted to return home
I accordingly replied in writing that nothing was known of
the boy in Muscat but that I had not yet heard from you. and tha
I must ask him to keep the case pending until I did unless he
were prepared to accept the boys Somali nationality as sufficien
proof of his freedom.
Subsequently the statements of two or three Somalis that he
was one of their race was taken by the Qadhi - Musa bin Hairi
himself being still absent on a voyage - and the *boy has now
been ^handed over to a friend of Musa’s, who has undertaken to
look after him for him until his return.
