Seizure and Execution of Messenger at Bahrain
- Scope & Content:
-
Letter and Enclosures to HM Secretary of State for India, dated 31 October 1871.
The papers concern the seizure and execution of a messenger from the 'pirate', Nassir bin Mobarik, to Jassim bin Mahomed bin Thani [Shaikh Jāsim bin Muḥammad Āl Thānī] of Gwuttur [Qatar], at Bahrein [Bahrain], and the seizure of letters he was carrying. The messenger was said to have been responsible for the murder of the father of the Ruler of Bahrain, and the letters included some from the Ottoman Pasha at El Hassa [Hasa]. British officials feared that the execution might provide a pretext for interference in Bahrain by the Ottoman Government. The correspondence also provides some military intelligence on Turkish operations in Nejd.
The main correspondent is Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Herbert, Political Agent in Turkish Arabia.
The Enclosures are dated 1 September - 30 October 1871.
