- ‘Mr Manesty’s explanation respecting the pecuniary Advances made by him to Individuals from the Public Treasury at Bussorah.’
- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists mostly of copies of correspondence cited in, or enclosed with, letters to and from the Government of Bombay. It relates to the attempts of Samuel Manesty, Resident at Bussora [Basra, also occasionally referred to as Bussorah], to transfer to the East India Company’s account the debts due to him as a result of loans made to individuals in Bussora. Manesty seeks to justify the loans he made, mentioning in particular a loan made as part of broader support offered to Abdulla Aga [Abd Allāh Āghā], former Mutasallim of Bussora. This is documented in correspondence covering a period from 3 July 1805 to 31 July 1807. Manesty also cites earlier correspondence with the Government of Bombay, claiming that it provides permission for his actions. Copies of this correspondence, dating from 13 April 1795 to 25 May 1798, are also included.
The primary correspondents are: the Court of Directors of the East India Company, the Government of Bombay, and Samuel Manesty.
The title page (f 221) of the item contains the following references: ‘Political No. 11, Season 1808/09, Draft 178, Para. 44’; and ‘Examiner’s Office, August 1808’.
