- Title:
- File 8/50 MUSCAT STATE AFFAIRS: SAIYID ALI BIN FAISAL
- Scope & Content:
-
This file concerns complaints made by Sayyid Ali bin Faisal [Sayyid ‘Alī bin Fayṣal Āl Bū Sa‘īd], son of the late Sultan of Muscat and Oman [Fayṣal bin Turkī Āl Bū Sa‘īd] and younger brother of the current Sultan [Taymūr bin Fayṣal bin Turkī Āl Sa‘īd], about Bertram Thomas's conduct as Financial Adviser to the Sultan.
In correspondence with the Political Agent and Consul, Muscat, and the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, Ali bin Faisal submits complaints regarding his dismissal from his post as Secretary to the Council of Ministers, as well as an earlier cut of 100 rupees in his salary and a seven-day imprisonment.
In a letter to the Secretary to the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, the Political Agent and Consul at Muscat states that the deduction from Ali bin Faisal's salary was to account for an earlier incident in which Ali bin Faisal reportedly threatened the Muscat Treasury Officer with a revolver and demanded from him 100 rupees.
The Arabic language material mainly consists of Ali bin Faisal's letters to the Political Agent and the Political Resident (English translations are included).
