Bahrain Affairs
- Scope & Content:
-
Enclosures Nos. 3-8 to Despatch No. 25 from the Secret Department, Bombay Castle, dated 22 June 1860. The Enclosures are dated 2 February-12 June 1860. Received 27 July 1860.
The Enclosures reflect British concern over the actions of the Ruler of Bahrain, Shaikh Mahomed ben Khuleefa [Muḥammad bin Khalīfah Āl Khalīfah]. The Ruler was accused by the British firstly of allowing his subjects to commit acts of piracy and brigandage that were likely to provoke conflict with the Wahabee [Wahhabi] Ruler in Nedjd [Najd], Ameer Fysul [Amir Faisal bin Turki bin Abdullah Āl Sa‘ūd], and secondly of attempting to surrender sovereignty over Bahrain to Persia (by allowing the Persian flag to fly over Bahrain), and to Turkey [the Ottoman Empire], by sealing a written act of submission and handing it over to Turkish emissaries.
The papers include: despatches from Captain Felix Jones, Political Resident in the Persian Gulf; correspondence between Jones and the Ruler of Bahrain; a report from Commander William Balfour, Senior Naval Officer Commanding Persian Gulf Squadron; précis of intelligence from Hajee Jassem, the British Agent at Bahrain; and resolution by the Honourable Board, dated 12 June 1860, approving the Political Resident's decision not to use force against the Ruler of Bahrain.
