- Title:
- ‘Mocha. Claim preferred by the Native Agent at – for losses sustained by himself and Clerk by the plunder of their property during the attack of that town by the Bedowins’
- Scope & Content:
-
The item consists of copies and extracts of correspondence, minutes and resolutions cited in, or enclosed with, letters from the Government of Bombay [Mumbai].
The item relates to requests for compensation by Sheik Tayb [Shaikh Tayyib], the Native Agent at Mocha, and his clerk, for losses sustained following an attack on the city by 'bedowins' [Bedouins]. The item includes an account by the Native Agent which explains the background to the attack: Toorkey Bilmuz [Muhammad Agha Turki Bilmaz] was chased into Mokha [Mocha] by Ally Bin Moostul (also written Ally Bin Majittel ['Ali bin Mujathal al-Mughaidi]), whose men subsequently plundered the city. Following discussions by the Government of Bombay as to the duty of government to remunerate the Native Agent and his clerk, the matter is referred to the Government of India, who in turn suggest it should be referred to the Court of Directors of the East India Company.
Correspondents include: the Government of Bombay; the Government of India; Sheik Tayb; and Captain Sir Charles Malcolm, Superintendent of the Indian Navy.
The title page of the item contains the following references: 'P.C. [Previous Communication] 1592, Draft 644, 1835’, ‘Collection N. 10’, ‘Bombay Political Department’ and ‘Rec[eived?] Hero of Malown, 15th May 1835’.
