- Title:
- File No. E/6 V. O. Correspondence regarding the Senior and the Junior Joint Courts.
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains correspondence regarding the Senior and the Junior Joint Courts in Bahrain. Letters were sent from the Political Agent to the Ruler of Bahrain, Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa, informing him of the dates and times of court proceedings. Shaikh Hamad's replies confirm whether he would be attending or not. Cases were postponed on some occasions if they were not urgent. There were also no court cases at Christmas or on other religious holidays. The Shaikh was informed beforehand when court meetings were postponed. The courts were usually held once or twice a week.
The main correspondence is between the Political Agent, Bahrain, and Shaikh Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa. Most of the file is in Arabic.
The file's core correspondence covers the period December 1930 to December 1935. The earlier start date given for the file is a result of correspondence (folio 74) which is also related to the Joint Court.
