Title:

Mr W. C. Bunce appointed Resident at Muscat and granted an extra allowance of 150 R p m [Rupees per mensem] towards enabling him to maintain a yacht

Scope & Content:

This item consists of copies of correspondence and resolutions cited in, or enclosed with, political letters from the Government of Bombay. The correspondents are the Government of Bombay and the British Resident in Muscat, William Chichely Bunce.

The item concerns the appointment of Bunce as British Resident at his own urging, and paying him an extra allowance to allow him to maintain a yacht. This is because of the unhealthy climate of Muscat, which has contributed to the deaths of the previous Residents. The death of Bunce is recorded. A search for a new site for the Residency has been started.

The title page of this item contains the following references: 'Political No. 13, Draft 33, Season 1812/3, Examiner's Office February 1811'.
