- Title:
- Letter no.187 of 1853 from Captain Arnold Kemball, Resident in the Persian Gulf, to Arthur Malet, Chief Secretary of the Government of Bombay
- Scope & Content:
- The letter and enclosures relate to the introduction of registers for Arab and Persian trading vessels visiting the port of Kurrachee [Karāchi]. Kemball suggests that the Acting Collector of Customs, Richard Spooner’s suggestion of introducing papers under Article V of the General Treaty signed with the Arab tribes, would invoke distrust and apprehension. Kemball suggests the reintroduction of a Government notification of 1839, imposing double duties on vessels coming to Karāchi from Arabia and Persia. Kemball also discusses the extent of his own jurisdiction in the Gulf, in relation to trading ports, and questions the widespread use of registration papers at Bombay. Kemball encloses a list of the Arab and Persian ports in which he has jurisdiction (folio 32v) and the proposed wording (in Arabic, folio 33) of a register that he recommends for introduction.
