Letter No. 3 of 1853 Captain Arnold Burrowes, Resident in the Persian Gulf, at Bushire, to Arthur Malet, Chief Secretary to the Government, Secret Department, Bombay
- Scope & Content:
-
The letter is informing the Bombay Government that Hajee Jassim, the British Agent at Bahrein [Bahrain], has reported that the Egyptian Agent Bitjuh Effendi has presented five slaves to the Shaikh of Bahrein, Muḥammed bin Khalīfah Āl Khalīfah, in exchange for a number of horses. It further reports that these slaves were transported to Bahrein aboard the Bombay, a vessel flying British colours.
It explains that though there is no evidence that the owners of the Bombay were aware of this, it is potentially damaging to Britain's political reputation among the Arab Chiefs and Persia; it makes British policy towards the slave trade look inconsistent. It notes a suggestion from the Resident that all British ship owners should in future be required to obtain a declaration from all passengers declaring that they are not trafficking slaves.
