- Scope & Content:

This item consists mostly of copies of correspondence and minutes cited in, or enclosed with, letters to and from the Government of Bombay. It is the second in a series of eight items on the subject of the alleged piracy of the Joasmee [al-Qawāsim, also referred to as Joassmee] (the others are: IOR/F/4/648/17850, IOR/F/4/649/17852, IOR/F/4/650/17853 and 17854, IOR/F/4/651/17855, and IOR/F/4/652/17856 and 17857). The main subjects are:
- Reports of sightings of Joasmee ships and of their attacks against merchant shipping, particularly in the Persian Gulf, off the coasts of Scind [Sindh] and Guzerat [Gujarat], and off the Malabar Coast
- Measures taken to tackle Joasmee piracy, including providing convoys for merchant ships between Surat and Mocha as well as up and down the Persian Gulf, and sending ships to cruise off the coasts of Scind and Cutch [Kutch]
- The capture by the Joasmees of the East India Company Pattamar Durria Dowlut [Darya Dawlat. Also referred to as Derriah Dowlut and Deria Dowlet] and reports of its capture and the fate of its crew, including depositions from two of them
- An incident in which the Vestal fired on ships from Muscat, believing them to be Joasmee pirates, and a subsequent investigation into the incident. It includes an extract of the log of the Vestal from 1-12 May 1817 (ff 104v to 105v)
- The activities in the Persian Gulf of Rahma bin Jaubir, who is now opposed to the Joasmee
- Concerns that the forces deployed against the Joasmee pirates are insufficient, and suggestions that a larger expedition should be carried out against them.
The main correspondents are: Francis Warden, Chief Secretary, Government of Bombay; Henry Meriton, Superintendent of Marine; Charles William Elwood, Agent at Porebunder [Porbandar]; William Bruce, Resident at Bushire; the East India Company’s Broker at Muscat; Captain William Hill, Commander of the Towey; and Lieutenant Frederick Faithful, Commander of the Vestal.
