- Title:
- File 19/126 II (C 29) Bahrain Customs
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence related to the administration of the Customs House in Bahrain from 1914 until 1929.
The earlier correspondence relates to a disagreement between Shaikh Isa bin Ali Al Khalifa and Bin Saud regarding tariff charges on goods entering and leaving Bahrain from the mainland.
The bulk of the correspondence discusses Claude De Grenier, who was appointed Director of Customs in Bahrain in 1923.
The details of De Grenier's appointment (including the contract agreed between him and Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa) and his performance in the job (which was heavily criticised) are both discussed at length.
